When three switches are connected to a single output, there are some arrangements that are not strictly OR logic and not strictly AND logic. Did you find a circuit box that had one switch that could shut off current to the output, while the other two were in the “on” position? This switch is commonly known as a “

Interactives Sandbox * * Finished Interactives * Power Up! This was a great interactive from AAAS that asked students to select power plants to achieve a given amount of power, while limiting cost and environmental impact. The numbers were deliberately messy, so there would be a need to scale up certain power generators to …

As a consequence of Newton's Second Law, objects placed on an incline sometimes experience a net force, and accelerate down the slope. At other times, the force of friction is enough to prevent acceleration. There are two keys to determining what will happen: * understanding the relationship between the force of gravity and the normal force; and * understanding the relationship between the normal force and the friction force.
