Parallel&Perpendicular Forces

There’s a new, engaging way to learn and apply your knowledge of science in a dynamic environment. Learn by doing and see the impact of being involved in what you learn.

Test your skills at determining the magnitude and direction of the net force when two parallel or perpendicular forces act on an object such as a truck or a ship. Plot vectors on a coordinate plane and discover the result of combining them.

• Complete interactive exercises with parallel and perpendicular forces.
• Draw vectors on a coordinate plane to show the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on an object.
• Figure out how to resolve a vector into its x- and y-components.
• Apply the Pythagorean theorem to resolve net forces.
• See how tugboats pulling a ship can illustrate the combination of force vectors.

App features:
• Apply the physics of combined forces in a series of hands-on exercises.
• Get step-by-step instructions that guide you through various activities.
• Practice new skills and knowledge by taking quizzes.
• Demonstrate what you learn by taking quizzes.
