The relationship between acceleration, velocity change and the time taken for the change is given by this formula. \(\text{acceleration}=\frac{\text{change in ...

Introduction Have you ever played a video game with a controller that used motion controls? Do you ever wonder how sometimes a smartphone seems to "know" if you're moving? How do these electronic ...

When an object does not start at rest, you need to measure both the initial velocity and the final velocity to be able to calculate the acceleration. One way to to do this is to use a double mask. A ...

Velocity is always TANGENT to the path. Acceleration, in general, has BOTH tangential and normal components. The normal component of acceleration always points INWARD to the path. The tangential ...

This module expands on the capabilities for teaching using a Pendulum. A pendulum by itself can provide valuable insight into harmonic motion and the relationship between frequency and period. It can ...
