Hot Hits at The Physics Classroom



Every Saturday we highlight three resources that have received particularly heavy traffic from website visitors during the past week. This week's winners are …

1.Kinematic Equations - Sample Problems and Solutionsat The Tutorial
This is the fifth page of a 6-page lesson that provides a considerable amount of detail on kinematic equations, their connections to graphs, and their use in solving problems. This page includes 20 problems of varying degree of difficulty. Each problem is accompanied by an answer and a solution. Being the fifth page in the lesson, it provides users ample opportunity to practice the concepts and practices that preceed it. For Physics students having troubles with solving kinematic problems, this page is a must read.



2. Charge and Charging Concept Builder
The Charge and Charging Concept Builder engages the learner in exploring the manner in which objects become electrostatically charged in terms of protons and electrons. There are 38 total questions that are organized into 16 different Question Groups and spread across three Activities. The three activities include Particle Count, Get Into the Flow, and Analyze This! Activity 1 - Particle Count challenges learners to compare the relative number of protons and electrons for neutral, positively-charged, and negatively-charged objects. In Activity 2 -Get Into the Flow, learners identify how objects beome charged positively or negatively and how they become neutral if previously charged. And in Activity 3 - Analyze This!, learners must apply what they have learned in the first two activities to analyze an electrostatic phenomenon. 



3. Free-Body Diagram Interactive at The Physics Interactives
Like all our Interactives, the Free-Body Diagram Interactive gained a lot of ground as one of our most popular Interactives. With its challenging questions, immediate feedback, chances for correction, and built-in scoring, it's not surprising that it was.
