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.
Recreational Mathematics: Palindromes in Mathematics and the Search for Patterns
Users study a chart containing numbers 1 to 99 and look for trivial palindromes as well as double and triple iteration palindromes. The reverse and add technique is demonstrated.
Explore vertical hydroponic growing with Fork Farms and FVTC. We'll introduce you to what vertical hydroponic growing is, why it's important to our economy and the environment, and how you can get started.
In this interactive object, learners identify the feelings and values that motivate them and others to take responsibility for improving ethics in the workplace.
Learners examine how a force may be considered to act at any point along its line of action as long as the magnitude and direction of the force remain unchanged. Numerical verification is provided.
Learners read an explanation of how to connect two 7485 ICs to compare binary numbers by creating an 8-bit comparator. Diagrams and charts are presented.
Students answer 10 questions in a sample exam. This exercise covers number systems, number conversion, logic gates, and combinational design. Feedback is provided.
Statics - Trig: The Pythagorean Theorem Using a TI-36XCalculator
In this animated and interactive object, the learner uses a TI-36X calculator to solve for the magnitude of the resultant and of one of the component forces in a right triangle.
In this animated activity, learners view the following physics concepts in action: force, friction, horsepower, work, power, inefficiency, resistance, inertia, and energy.
Using the principle of Pascal's Law, the learner will interpret the gauge readings in a hydraulic system to determine when the system is operating properly under various load conditions and when there is a defect.
Learners read an explanation of variation and how it can make a process unpredictable. They distinguish between common and special causes of variation in a brief exercise at the end of the lesson.
