Abstract
In New York City, there are many ways to travel. Of course, it’s a lot easier if you’re a bird. Using the Big Apple as a living laboratory, this program addresses speed and distance using a pigeon, a taxi, and a tour boat. Additional situations such as the deployment of a Mars rover, a zero-G flight in NASA’s Weightless Wonder, a walk on a conveyor belt and a cruising aircraft carrier, and juggling on the Earth and around the Solar System provide opportunities to study the mechanics of velocity and acceleration as well as contact forces and forces that act at a distance. Vector algebra is demonstrated throughout. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide is available online. A Films for the Humanities & Sciences Production. A part of the series Physics in Action.
