Circular Motion and Satellite Motion
Circular Motion Gallery
The Circular Motion Gallery features photos of merry-go-rounds, carousel rides, ferris wheels, rotor and barrel amusement park rides, racecars, hammer throw competitors, skateboarders smoking a pipe, accelerometers, and more. This gallery coordinates with Lessons 1 and 2 of the Circular Motion and Satellite Motion chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.
Roller Coaster Physics Gallery
The Roller Coaster Physics Gallery features photos of loops, turns, drops, corkscrews, hills and other features of roller coaster rides. Historic coasters and amusement parks are discussed to provide a brief history of roller coasters. The photos illustrate many concepts from several units of The Physics Classroom Tutorial, including the Circular Motion and Satellite Motion chapter.
Banked Turns Gallery
The Banked Turns Gallery features photos of motorcyclists, dirt bikers, roller coaster cars, bobsleds, snowboarders, skateboarders, football players, airplanes and birds making banked turns. The photos illustrate the concepts associated with circular motion. This gallery coordinates with Lessons 1 and 2 of the Circular Motion and Satellite Motion chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.
Gravity Gallery
The Gravity Gallery features photos of free-falling objects, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, physics graffiti, satellites, planets, instructive diagrams, occupants on NASA's vomit comet, and drawings and statues of Galileo, Newton and Kepler. The photos illustrate the concepts associated with gravitation and satellite motion. This gallery coordinates with Lessons 3 and 4 of the Circular Motion and Satellite Motion chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.

Lesson 1: Motion Characteristics for Circular Motion
Lesson 1 discusses the conceptual and mathematical aspects of various motion quantities (speed, velocity, acceleration and force) and their relationship to circular motion. Items in the group's pool include roller coaster loops, corkscrews and turns, air show pilots, motorcycle riders on curves, sprinters, and much more. Photos complement many of the discussions from Lesson 1 of the Circular Motion and Satellite Motion chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.

Lesson 2: Applications of Circular Motion
Lesson 2 focuses on the application of Newton's second law to the analysis of situations involving objects moving in circles. Items in the group's pool include air show pilots, historic roller coasters, roller coaster loops and corkscrews, motorcyclists on turns and much more. Photos complement many of the discussions from Lesson 2 of the Circular Motion and Satellite Motion chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.

Lesson 3: Universal Gravitation
Lesson 3 discusses the conceptual and mathematical aspects of Newton's law of universal gravitation. Items in the group's pool include statues of Newton, sketches of Newton, free falling objects, and (of course) apples. Photos complement many of the discussions from Lesson 3 of the Circular Motion and Satellite Motion chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.

Lesson 4: Planetary and Satellite Motion
Lesson 4 discusses a variety of topics related to planetary and satellite motion, including Kepler's three laws, satellite motion mathematics, weightlessness and energy concepts. Items in the group's pool include occupants of NASA's vomit comet, solar system diagrams, roller coaster drops, sketches of Kepler, and much more. Photos complement many of the discussions from Lesson 4 of the Circular Motion and Satellite Motion chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.
