institution is whr.nj. Your password has been temporarily set to your ID number if you are new to
webassign. You should change this to something more secure as soon as you sign in. If you already have
a Webassign account your password is the one you used before.
1. How many current assignments are listed?

Physics Classroom:
Go to http://www.physicsclassroom.com/. You do not need to log in to this site. The Physics Classroom
site is a wonderful tutorial with animations and interactive quizzes that let you check your
understanding. You can work the problems as you read along and check if you are correct. You can also
do practice problems and hear an audio step-by-step description of how to work the problem.
a. Go to the Physics Tutorial. Go to the first chapter on 1-D kinematics. What is the first lesson
about?
b. What is the definition of kinematics?
c. What icon do you see to help you figure out what’s important in that section?
d. Go to the page on scalars and vectors. What is the first Check Your Understanding question
about?
e. How can you find the correct answer?
f.
Go to the menu on the left side of the page. Look under Calculator Pad. What can you find
there?
g. At the very bottom of that webpage are problem sets and audio-guided solutions. Click on 1.
What is the word problem about?
h. Look at the left menu. Write down the link that will take you to a review of 1-D Kinematics
i.
Look under the Physics Help link. What 4 topics are listed there?
What’s Next?
If you are done and still have time left, you can start working on the first Webassign.
Be sure to leave time to put away your computer!
