Weight-Volume Relationships: Saturated Unit Weight
Students read how to determine and calculate the saturated unit weight for a given sample of soil or aggregate, based on the weight-volume relationship. Practice problems complete the activity.
Transfer Functions: The RL High Pass Filter With Bode Plot
Learners read how the transfer function for a RL high pass filter is developed. The transfer function is used in Excel to graph the Vout. The circuit is also simulated in Electronic WorkBench, and the resulting Bode plot is compared to the graph from Excel.
Instructors who will be teaching in an Interactive Television classroom can use this activity to familiarize themselves with the various equipment options available in these rooms. A matching activity is used as a self-assessment.
In this interactive object, learners change the amount of money received from tax revenue and the amount spent on federal programs as they calculate how fiscal policy affects the gross domestic product (GDP), unemployment, inflation, the annual deficit, the national debt, and interest on the national debt.
