In this module students will learn how to define position, displacement, distance, and distance traveled. They will explain the relationship between position and displacement and they will distinguish between displacement and distance...
Physics Aviary
Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Billy on Hill (Level 1)
Students must predict the distance traveled by a person on a sled. The person will start with potential energy due to gravity and it will turn into KE without loss. They will then lose their energy on a level surface at the bottom of a...

This activity uses the graphing calculator and the CBR(tm) to determine how far a baseball will travel and if it would be a homerun at a Major League baseball game. This activity uses differential equations to determine the distance...
Mathigon
Mathigon: Geometry: Circle and Pi: Degrees and Radians
Rather than dividing a circle into some number of segments (like 360 degrees), mathematicians often prefer to measure angles using the circumference of a unit circle - a circle with radius 1. This way of measuring angles is called...
