Work-Energy Theorem Applied to a Cart Pulled Down a Track
In this activity, students will analyze the relationship between the maximum speed of a cart pulled by a falling mass and the work done by gravity. Students will measure the speed of the cart, calculate the work in each trial, make a graph of speed vs. work, and determine an equation which will ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/workenergy-theorem-applied-to-a-cart-pulled-down-a-track
Using CBR in Egg Drop Competition
Egg drop competition is a popular activity to reinforce the lessons in force and motion. In the activity, the students are asked to design a vehicle to carry the egg safely when dropped from a height of 10 feet (about 3 m) or more. Real-time and concrete data collected and analyzed during the de...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-cbr-in-egg-drop-competition
Simulation of the Photoelectric Effect for the TI-83+/TI-84+ Graphing Calculator
The simulation generates photoelectrons into a retarding potential difference. Students can adjust the retarding potential so that the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons can be found. With this information and the wavelength of the photon that generated the photoelectron, Planck's constant ca...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/simulation-of-the-photoelectric-effect-for-the-ti83ti84-graphing-calculator
