Multimedia Physics Studios: The Stoplight
Shows, by means of simple animation the velocity time graph for two cars.
The Cannon
This JAVA applet simulates projectile motion - fire a canon and change the angle and initial velocity.
Coulomb force vs velocity
Shows the animated effect of increasing the kinetic energy and/or the charge of two particles as they approach each other.
Projectiles and Newton
The "cannon on the mountaintop" thought experiment with user input of velocity data. There is a link to the background lecture notes.
The science of ice skating
A page explaining how figure skaters are able to perform rotating jumps, covering angular momentum, take off velocity, projectile motion etc.
Gravitational Fields
A good revision page for UK A Level, covers topics such as field strength and shapes, potential energy and escape velocity.
Momentum
The momentum of a particle is defined as the product of its mass times its velocity. It is a vector quantity.
Hubble's Law
Hubble's law is a statement of a direct correlation between the distance to a galaxy and its recessional velocity as determined by the red shift.
