Kinematics: Motion in One Dimension Kinematics: Motion in Two Dimensions Static Equilibrium Dynamics of a Single Particle Systems of Two or More Bodies Work and Work-Energy Theorem Conservative Forces and Potential Energy Conservation of Energy Power Systems of Particles, Linear Momentum Uniform Circular Motion Angular Momentum and Its Conservation Rotational Kinematics and Dynamics Oscillations and Gravitation Pendulum and Other Oscillations Newton's Law of Gravity and Orbits Demonstrations Each of the demonstrations includes a picture, description, suggestion of use, equipment needed, and the approximate setup time.   Torque: Physical Definition   Equilibrium of Torques -- Small   Crane Boom Lecture Notes and Tutorials Torque and Rotational Motion These notes contain detailed explanations of background material, annotated diagrams and illustrations, sample problems, and a self-test with immediate feedback from the University of Guelph in Canada.   Torque and Rotational Motion Rotational Equilibrium and Torque These notes from PhysicsLAB by Catherine H. Colwell contain detailed explanations of background material, annotated diagrams and illustrations, and solved examples.   Rotational Equilibrium and Torque Notes from Frank Wolfs at the University of Rochester These notes contain calculus-level, detailed explanations of background material, annotated diagrams and illustrations, and solved examples.   Torque   Rotation Simulations Physics Simulation Library Each simulation includes an audio introduction and general directions. These simulations are very well designed, and each experiment gives the opportunity to change the parameters, collect data, and interpret various graphs. The following simulations are included: Comparison of Translational and Rotational Motion, Torque, and Rotational Equilibrium.   Physics Simulation Library Exploration WestPoint Bridge Designer Designing and Building File-Folder Bridges: A Problem-Based Introduction to Engineering provides students with an opportunity to learn how engineers use math, science, and technology to design real structures in the context of a hands-on model bridge-building project. Teacher resources and a free downloadable bridge design software program are included.   WestPoint Bridge Designer See also...
