Peer reviewedDeJong, Marvin L. – Physics Teacher, 1983
Describes two kinematics/dynamics programs (Apple II) easily adaptable to other microcomputers. Kept simple, the programs allow teacher/student to control forces acting on a particle by introducing force laws in programs or by using game paddles/joystick. Discusses equations used and provides program listings. (JN)

Peer reviewedRisley, John S. – Physics Teacher, 1983
Reviews software produced by Cross Educational Software to teach college-advanced high school students how to determine forces/torques acting on rigid bodies in static equilibrium. Designed for use with Apple II/II+ (Applesoft), 10 minutes to one hour are required for the five low to moderate interactive tutorial programs. (Author/JN)

Peer reviewedRisley, John S. – Physics Teacher, 1983
Reviews software for college/advanced high school-level physics designed to instruct/test students in vector arithmetic and analysis. Written for Apple II/II+ (Applesoft), the program menu contains seven items (including graphing and straight line fitting procedure). Excellent use of graphics and sound tutorial approach keep students' interest and…

Peer reviewedRisley, John S. – Physics Teacher, 1983
Reviews "Laws of Motion" computer program produced by Educational Materials and Equipment Company. The program (language unknown), for Apple II/II+, is a simulation of an inclined plane, free fall, and Atwood machine in Newtonian/Aristotelian worlds. Suggests use as supplement to discussion of motion by teacher who fully understands the…

Peer reviewedRisley, John S. – Physics Teacher, 1983
Reviews EduTech mechanic simulations of vertical fall with/without air resistance, hunter-monkey paradox, planetary motion for Apple II. The self-contained programs are designed for teacher use during demonstrations or as supplementary tutorial material. Indicates simulations are well done/useful but too much unnecessary (although informative)…

Peer reviewedRisley, John S.; Grabel, Lisa – Physics Teacher, 1983
Reviews "Scatter," a software package consisting of three programs designed to help students "see" results of particle scattering and representative concepts difficult to show in introductory laboratories. Includes source, equipment needed, physics level, time involvement, interaction, and nature of programs. Recommends only…
