Ontario path

One route through the high-school book, then the first engineering diagram. The pictures here are original. The chapters open on OpenStax and Mechanics Map.

1. Motion in one dimension

position

The slope of position is the velocity.

OpenStax chapter 2 · Try the graphs

2. Forces

The net force is the sum of the arrows.

OpenStax chapter 4 · Try the arrows

3. Work and simple machines

Torque is the weight times how far it sits from the fulcrum.

OpenStax chapter 9 · Try the seesaw

4. Waves

On a string fixed at both ends, the nodes are the still points.

OpenStax chapter 13 · Try the string

5. Circuits

Current is voltage divided by resistance.

OpenStax chapter 19 · Try the nine puzzles
