These two short online tutorials discuss how the earth rotates and then the earth's revolutions.
In the first URL, the YouTube video explains why earth has spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons. The second URL summarizes the key takeaway points.
In this lesson you will learn about:
In this unit you will learn about:
Determining how fast something will be traveling upon impact when it is released from a given height.
In this chapter, we’ll use vectors to expand our understanding of forces and motion into two dimensions. Most real-world physics problems (such as with the game of pool pictured here) are, after all, either two- or three-dimensional problems and physics is most useful when applied to real physical scenarios. We start by learning the practical skills of graphically adding and subtracting vectors (by using drawings) and analytically (with math). Once we’re able to work with two-dimensional vectors, we apply these skills to problems of projectile motion, inclined planes, and harmonic motion.
In this unit you will learn that:
The particle model of matter is one of the most useful scientific models because it describes matter in all three states. Understanding how the particles of matter behave is vital if we hope to understand science!
The model also helps us to understand what happens to the particles when matter changes from one state to another.
