J-Track 3D Satellite Tracking We hope you enjoy J-Track 3-D.  It should appear in its own window and begin loading a database of hundreds of satellites. What you will see is a plot in 3-dimensions showing the position of these satellites. If you are unable to view then a JAVA updagrade could be necessary. Be sure to try the "Satellite" pull-down menu to choose which satellite you wish to view. How to interact with JTrack-3D; it has its own menu items for View, Satellite, and Options:

Electric power is an aspect of modern life that most of us take for granted. And while the general public associates Thomas Edison with its invention and the development of transmission processes, the methods used today are largely due to the efforts of Nikola Tesla.

Over 90 Flash(tm) animations used during lectures and labs. Many do NOT contain descriptions in the animations because they are designed to be used in conjunction with a lecturer. Many are moviews while others are student centered explorations. Most of the these animations are in a Flash 5 format. This means they can be used in PowerPoint presentations by download the swf file and dragging it to your slide. 

The Power of Ideas is an interactive learning module designed to help you understand these paradigm shifts - exactly what about our conceptual frameworks was unified, and the transformative effect it has had on our world.

The Astophysics package was published in 1997. It was written primarily to support modules currently available in the A level physics syllabuses at that time. Parts of package were also relevant to astronomical topics within International Baccalaureate and GCSE courses as well as to adult and continuing education.

GPS is handy for finding a route, but it might be able to solve fundamental questions in physics too. An analysis of GPS satellite orbits hints that Earth is heavier than thought, perhaps due to a halo of dark matter.

From a Japanese TV show - a real life example of adding vectors and relative motion. The truck is moving at 100km/hr and a ball is shot backwards at 100 km/hr, resulting in it coming to a complete stop.

The publishers website for our Project Physics textbook. It includes some information that is not in the text.

Allows you to place Nodes & members in place to create a truss. It will also calculate the forces involved.

This is a form Shah requires his math students to use if they are request a reassessment on a skill.  It might be adaptable for quizzes.

Jeffrey W. Schnick's calc-based intro physics book online.  In WORD format so it can be edited by the teacher / user.

A nice java applet for EFields. Uses e-fields, not vector vield lines. Nice visual.

GE has a neat site that allows us to select a device to check its power rating. Convenient for circuit discussions.
