| Author | Carlson, Matt J. |
| Description | Dr. Carlson’s library of science videos includes his more detailed discussion of Free Fall. NASA has a number of good web pages on satellites and their orbits including this one on types of orbits. There are many physics web sites that describe the motion of satellites. A few java applications where you can attempt to make a satellite orbit correctly: 1) http://lectureonline.cl.msu.edu/~mmp/kap7/orbiter/orbit.htm 2) http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?topic=398 3) http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/rocket/corbit.html The Angry Birds Space game can be used to demonstrate some orbits. Launch a bird slowly and it falls inwards, too hard and it flies out of orbit. Launch it just right and it goes around and around awhile. |
