		Pendulum: Simple Harmonic Motion This program introduces the concept of simple harmonic motion through the operation of the pendulum. The findings of Galileo and his contemporaries on the mechanics of the pendulum are presented, along with examples of pendular motion drawn from the ...(more details)		DVD $79.95 DVD + 3-Year Streaming $119.93 3-Year Streaming $79.95
		Bikes and Cars: Centripetal Acceleration This program considers the idea that circular motion must imply a force or component of a force toward the center of a circle, as in the Newtonian theory of how the Moon orbits the Earth. The reasons why bicyclists lean during turns, why roads are ba...(more details)		DVD $79.95 DVD + 3-Year Streaming $119.93 3-Year Streaming $79.95
		Parachuting: Moving Bodies with Constant Mass This program uses a parachutist to demonstrate the effects of drag on the force of gravity, showing how to make mathematical approximations and how the resultant forces can be equated to the product of mass and acceleration. A first-order differentia...(more details)		DVD $79.95 DVD + 3-Year Streaming $119.93 3-Year Streaming $79.95
		Vectors and Moments Moving beyond the concept of simple force, this program expands the application of vectors to include velocity, acceleration, and rotational motion. In addition, moments of greater complexity are investigated through vector geometry. Real-world examp...(more details)		DVD $79.95 DVD + 3-Year Streaming $119.93 3-Year Streaming $79.95
		Kites: Modeling with Vectors After defining the basic concepts of vectors, this program uses algebra to determine how the resultant of numerous forces acting on a body can be obtained and then equated to the product of mass and acceleration. Kites are employed to exemplify both ...(more details)		DVD $79.95 DVD + 3-Year Streaming $119.93 3-Year Streaming $79.95
