AP Physics Multimedia Investigation Work, Power, Energy

You will be using the internet and simulation software to investigate applications of work, power, and energy. This will give you a better understanding of these topics.

1. go to http://www.curriki.org/nroc/Introductory_Physics_1/index.html and go to each of the following links:
1. Chapter 3: Work, Energy, and Power

i. Lesson 7: Work and Work-Energy Theorem

ii. Lesson 8: Conservative Forces and Potential Energy

iii. Lesson 9: Conservation of Energy

iv. Lesson 10: Power

2. When you are done watching the videos, go to the Novell Screen and open Interactive Journey Through Physics and follow the instructions below.

Do not do MCAT Problems.

Then, you will be doing more investigations into Work, Power, and Energy utilizing Multimedia Science School (MSS on Novell Screen).

Physics - Mechanics - Work and Energy - Lesson - Energy Changes

You will hand in a one page (typed - two pages if hand written) summary of what you have learned. Do NOT just copy the lesson summary!
