• Inner vs outer planets

This YouTube video will guide you through a fun activity where you will draw the earth's continents and oceans.

This online resource explores the following topics:

• Latitude and parallels
• Longitude and meridians
• Climate and latitude

This online tutorial guides you through what information a map shows, map legends and the different types of maps which are available.

In this chapter, we’ll use vectors to expand our understanding of forces and motion into two dimensions. Most real-world physics problems (such as with the game of pool pictured here) are, after all, either two- or three-dimensional problems and physics is most useful when applied to real physical scenarios. We start by learning the practical skills of graphically adding and subtracting vectors (by using drawings) and analytically (with math). Once we’re able to work with two-dimensional vectors, we apply these skills to problems of projectile motion, inclined planes, and harmonic motion.
