Terminal Velocity
Investigate how the forces on a cyclist and parachutist change as they approach and reach terminal velocity. The use of force arrows and values that change in real time adds a vital enhancement to students' learning.
- Learn about velocity/time graphs, the difference between constant speed and acceleration
- Learn about forces acting on falling objects and unbalanced forces causing an object to change speed
- Getting to Know - gives you a practical introduction and overview of the Teaching Tool by guiding you through the features and functions of the tool
- A Lesson - an ordered sequence of pages featuring bookmarks from Teaching Tools that cover specified learning objectives. Text on each page encourages students to observe, explore and interact with the multimedia. The lesson is accompanied by a set of background notes and a worksheet
- Background notes - provide an overview of the lesson, learning objectives and teaching tips
- A Worksheet - features questions that relate to the various pages of the lesson
