Welcome to TI Physics.

The tools to help your students succeed.

Introducing the TI-Nspire CAS learning handheld and computer software TI-Nspire CAS (Computer Algebra System) technology is designed to support your instruction and curriculum. Realize the power of visual learning when it is applied to symbolic mathematics. TI-Nspire CAS technology adds a new interactive dimension, so your students are able to use educational technology to explore symbolic answers and the multiple representations of different problems.

  • Perform symbolic algebra and symbolic calculus on a user-friendly interface.
  • Experience spreadsheet capabilities similar to using Microsoft Excel® software.
  • Show students the cause-and-effect nature of changes in real-time, on one screen.
  • Help students input the proper exponents for exploring physics problems.

Bell Ringer: Centripetal Acceleration

Posted on 02/08/2010

Topic: Bell Ringer: Centripetal Acceleration
Activity Overview:
In this activity, students will observe a simulation of an object traveling in uniform circular motion. Then, students will derive the equation for the magnitude of centripetal acceleration as a function of tangential velocity and circle radius.
