the Physics Education Technology Project Students use the mouse
to move objects of varying mass along a 1-D path. The simulation
charts P-T, V-T and acceleration graphs as the students control
applied force, friction, and gravitational constants. This item
is part of a larger collection of simulations developed by the
Physics Education Technology project (PhET). The no-cost
simulations are animated, interactive, and game-like
environments in which students learn through exploration. This
resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit. Topic:
Dynamics: Forces and Motion Unit Title: Applications of Newton's
Laws As students use the mouse to move objects of varying mass
along a 1-D path, the simulation charts graphs of position vs.
time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration. Applied force,
friction, and gravitational constants can be varied in this
interactive activity. Can be adapted for use in either middle or
high school. %0 Electronic Source %D March 3, 2006 %T PhET
