I was tired of dealing with the old incandescent light boxes last time I used them. We had to have the room fairly blacked out, needed voltage sources, burned out a bunch of bulbs, etc. These LED flashlights show color addition with lights off and windows open! 😍 #iteachphysics
@achmorrison@maalmeida85 One more find that I haven't fully tested out but looks interesting. They used python to create an animating that looks like what you drew. https://t.co/Pj19Vuiduy
@achmorrison How about this. Screen record this https://t.co/lemOdpPOrE with a low spring constant and high amplitude, then convert to a gif, then pull individual frames for one cycle.
Happy National Pi Day! The ratio of a circle's circumference to diameter, pi, is essential across math and science. Here at Vernier, we love pie! I mean, pi!

How important is weight/normal force in a tug of war between two trucks with identical tires?
Turns out, it's pretty important. 😉
Students did a great job coming up with explanations for this using their understanding of friction.

Honors NRG challenge lab. Ss use spring hoop @VernierST & force sensor to det k value of hoop. Each group then given diff incline angle, hoop compression & mass in cart. Ss predict max position cart reaches after launch. Ss have no access to cart until test <10% err#iteachphysics
#iTeachPhysics: New interactive for exploring reference frames, as that has been specifically added to AP Physics 1 for the 24-25 school year.
Here you can explore the position, velocity, and acceleration graphs from the reference frames of 3 observers: https://t.co/uZ3g1PWkEI
