As the twelfth lesson of the Articulated Multimedia Physics Course, instructional materials are presented in this study guide with relation to work, energy, and power. The topics are concerned with kinetic and potential energy, energy transfer in free falling bodies, and conservation laws. The content is arranged in scrambled form, and the use of…

Two computer programs are described, with the development and implementation of the first program described in some detail. This is a student-computer dialogue for beginning or intermediate physics classes entitled "A Computer-Based Dialogue for Deriving Energy Conservation for Motion in One-Dimension." A portion of the flowchart is included,…

Three review segments of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are provided in this volume which is arranged to match study segments 1 through 14. Each of the three segments is composed of a set of problems and solutions, and accompanied by its own individual study guide. The problem set is designed as a back-referencing system, and the…

A simple analog computer program is described which, in conjunction with a dual-trace storage oscilloscope, can demonstrate travelling and standing waves, the effect of various reflection coefficients, standing wave ratios, and other wave phenomena. (Author/CP)

This course uses stability as a central theme around which to organize a wide range of reactor concerns. This approach brings together the subject matter of catalyst particles with that of well-stirred vessels and tubular reactor geometry. (Author/BB)

This course concentrates on a rigorous development of the multicomponent transport equations, boundary conditions at phase interfaces, and volume-averaged transport equations for multiphase reacting systems. (BB)

Describes the construction of an inexpensive visual aid to be used for explaining the dynamics of gases. (CP)

Presented is a simple demonstration of siphon action by using straws without sucking, or filling and closing one end. Includes the method, figures of the demonstration, and four questions for students on the demonstration. (YP)

Discusses three types of sensors; pressure, gas detection, and relative humidity. Explains their use for laboratory measurements of gas pressure and detection of specific gaseous species. Shows diagrams of devices and circuits along with examples and applications including microcomputer interfacing. (RT)

Describes the creation of the computer program "BOUNCE," designed to simulate a weighted piston coming into equilibrium with a cloud of bouncing balls. The model follows the ideal gas law. Utilizes the critical event technique to create the model. Discusses another program, "BOOM," which simulates a chain reaction. (CW)
