Moments of inertia for various bodies

Hundreds of free games illustrating basic principles of physics.

In this video, Dr. Radi Al-Jishi provides an introduction to the basic math used in physics.

This site lets users see the relationships between kinetic energy, potential energy, friction, and gravity as they design a roller coaster.

This website provides not only an explanation of how the ballistic pendulum can be used to measure the speed of a bullet but also a calculator to check your work. It can be used to explain a similar assembly involving a spring instead of a pendulum as well. You simply substitute the equation for the potential energy of a spring for (M+m)gd -- the potential energy of the pendulum.
