		Modeling Vectors Employing diverse examples such as trains and water slides, this program illustrates the use of vectors to represent forces operating in both two and three dimensions. The algebraic manipulation of vectors in modeling problems is featured. (24 minute...(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
		Rockets and Avalanches: Moving Bodies with Variable Mass In this program, footage of rockets blasting off and avalanches roaring down mountainsides provides two perspectives of the same principle: the rate of change of momentum. Practical calculations of the time it takes for a rocket to lift off and the t...(more details)		DVD $79.95 DVD + 3-Year Streaming $119.93 3-Year Streaming $79.95
		Spinning Tops and Ailerons: Moments and Angular Momentum In this program, animated graphics help to define the concept of angular momentum and to express the relationship between moments and the rate of change of angular momentum. Problems include determining the dimensions needed for an airplane's aileron...(more details)		DVD $79.95 DVD + 3-Year Streaming $119.93 3-Year Streaming $79.95
		Resonance: Simple Harmonic Motion In this program, resonance is examined. The value of mathematical models is demonstrated through the physics of applying a time-varying force to a body that fundamentally exhibits simple harmonic motion. Solution techniques for general linear second-...(more details)		DVD $79.95 DVD + 3-Year Streaming $119.93 3-Year Streaming $79.95
