| 1. Motion in One Dimension
How are an object's position, velocity, and acceleration related and how do they characterize the motion of an object? |
10. The Converging Lens How can a seesaw balance with a number of different masses placed on it at different points? |
| 2. Force and Motion in One Dimension
What is a force and how does it affect the motion of an object? |
11. DC Circuits
How is the brightness of a lightbulb related to the voltage across it and current through it? |
| 3. Falling Objects
How can we determine how long it will take an object to fall on the Earth, or on another celestial object, if we neglect the possibility of air resistance? |
12. Resistor-Capacitor Circuits
What happens when a resistor and a charged capacitor are hooked up together in a circuit? |
