Examines Galileo's experiments with the inclined plane to study acceleration and gravity, which shows the development of a mathematical study of acceleration.

This site describes the life of Galileo, particularly his work on scientific theory, projectile kinematics, astronomy, telescopy, thermoscopy and the pendulum clock. Artifacts from his life and experiments, as well as his preserved right middle finger are quite interesting. Additional historical information on Galileo is found in the Rice Catalog of the Scientific Community in the 16th and 17th Centuries.

contains almost 100 practice problems. Created by Andy Elby and Paul Manly for U.C. Berkeley's Instructional Technology Program. Chapter 3 contains seven practice problems for 1-D motion.

The practice problems are accompanied by detailed solutions and Interactive Physics II computer experiments. The computer experiments only run on Macintosh computers that have Interactive Physics II installed but MPEG movies are available for many of the experiments.

Originally written for high school physics students by Tom Henderson, science teacher at Glenbrook South High School. A good introduction to one-dimensional motion with checking questions, animations, graphs, etc. to help the student understand 1-D motion.

This applet simulates a ball in free fall and displays a position vs. time graph, etc. The applet allows you to control many of the initial conditions including gravity. For other applets, check out the Table of Contents with many different scenarios for 1-D motion.
