Galileo
Part I: The Early Years
This is a quick biography of Galileo. Visit this site and explain
how Galileo disproved Aristotle's theory of gravity. Introduction
to Freefall
Review this lesson about the motion of objects moving with a
constant linear acceleration due to gravity. Use this information
to determine when a bungee jumper is in free fall. Introduction
to Physical Science
Here, you'll find a complete description of speed, velocity,
and acceleration, including graphs. Compare the constant speed
graph to the uniform acceleration graph. Can the two cars travel
the same distance in the same amount of time?
The
Microgravity Science Home Page
This site contains an in-depth discussion on microgravity, its
uses, and its consequences. What is ZBLAN and where did it get
its name?
