PBL-3 Energy & Momentum    


We will now look at an alternative approach to dynamics. While in Newton's viewpoint, we describe motion using forces and mass, in this viewpoint we work with energy and momentum. In this activity unit, you will perform virtual experiments with three different public domain physics simulations dealing with energy and momentum. Before you start answering the questions, play with each simulation. Get familiar with each of the different effects and buttons of the animations. Where there are tabs, utilize them. 在這個單元,你要使用四個有關力與運動的模擬實驗,在你開始作答問題前,玩玩看每個模擬實驗,熟悉每個模擬實驗的操作,並利用這些模擬來回答問題。

For this self-guided learning activity,

  1. Work together as a Rally Car Racing Team. One partner will play the role of navigator and the other the role of driver. 2人一組.
  2. Goto: 打開這個網頁
  3. Download 下載 Worksheet 題目 [PDF] & Print it. 印出來
  4. Run the simulations together, following the order in the worksheet. Run both English and Chinese simultaneously, so you can learn both English and Chinese vocabulary. 執行模擬器,回答問題
  5. If questions, please ask the Tutor.可問助教
  6. Each group should hand in one set of worksheets at the end of class. 一組繳交份題目,寫上組別成員學號及姓名
