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.

Rolling a Ball on an Inclined Plane
Posted on 08/15/2008
- Topic: Rolling a Ball on an Inclined Plane
- Activity Overview:
- In this activity, students will collect distance and time data for a ball rolling up and down an incline. They will then find the best-fit parabola for the data and construct a tangent to the parabola. They will capture data about the slope of the parabola at various points and graph the results. They will then use those results to explore the relationship between the displacement and velocity functions and between the angle of the inclined plane and the acceleration of the ball.
