		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
		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
		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.
