Statics - Trig: Pythagorean Theorem Calculations Using a TI-86
In this animated and interactive object, the learner uses a TI-86 calculator to solve for the magnitude of the resultant and of one of the component forces in a right triangle.
Students view photos of an electric pencil sharpener as it is disassembled. The learning object is intended to prepare students to be able to identify the components and create an assembly process in a future activity.
Learners answer questions about internal combustion engines using a game board format. This learning object can be used individually, in small groups, or as a class activity to provide an alternative self-assessment tool.
In this animated and interactive object, learners use rotational input velocity to determine the linear output velocity of a rocker or lever. Learners test their knowledge in an exercise at the end of the activity.
In this animated object, learners examine formulas for displacement and velocity ratios. They also view examples and calculate velocity and the velocity ratio.
In this screencast, learners examine the concept of gear ratios. The number of teeth, diameters, and velocity relationships are discussed and calculated using linear ratio equations.
