Additional Learning Tools and Resources
Watching a presentation is a passive activity. Getting information is important ... but its not the destination or end point. Now that you've watched the video, its time to do something with the information you've heard. It's time to act on it. The resources below provide an opportunity to do this. We encourage learners to solidify their learning through the use of one or more of the following resources.
Calculator Pad, Vectors and Projectiles, Questions #2-#4
When you're looking for practice using mathematical equations to solve Physics problems, use the Calculator Pad. You will find problems on a variety of topics with answers and audio-guided solutions. Each set of problems has a page with information about the mathematics. For help with the trigonometric method of vector resolution, try problems 2-4 on the Vectors and Projectiles problem set.
Minds On Physics, Part 1, Vectors and Projectiles Module, Mission VP5
For those wishing for a rigorous, no-nonsense Physics workout, Minds On Physics is the app for you. Users are delivered a collection of challenging questions that target their understanding of a single concept; answers are evaluated, feedback is immediate, and each question includes a link to several screens of question-specific information. Mission VP5 is on the topic of vector components.
The Physics Classroom Tutorial, Vectors and Motion in Two Dimensions, Vector Resolution
The Tutorial section of our website has a long-standing reputation for presenting Physics concepts in an easy-to-understand language. When you need a quick reference, it's the go-to place.
