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 ailerons and the amount of force required to rotate a toy spaceship. The reasons why a spinning top shows precession are also addressed. (43 minutes)

		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
		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
		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.
