Enigma machine for some chapter 6 work

There is now a weblink in Module 2 part A that links to an Enigma Machine on the UCF Game Server. It is like a sideways version of Jeopardy, and it walks you through a brain-burner recoil problem, step by step,
  1. from basic tasks with the momentum formula for 100 points
  2. to the the high level target calculation that depends on the three previous steps... which snags you 400 points.
It is just a practice tool, so no points on your semester grade come from it, but you can take it any number of times and you might find it helpful by the time Exam 2 rolls around.

Enigma machine for Ch. 20 concepts

There is a new Enigma machine for testing your grasp of Ch. 20 concepts.

If you have not tried Enigma machines before, it is like the tv show, Jeopardy -- only sideways.

You might find it helpful for study as you prepare for exam 2!

Enigma machines/hurricane damage

I will be starting to activate a variety of Enigma machines for you all to use as study tools. They are like sideways Jeopardy games that help you work through calculations in a step by step manner.

Right now, I have activated an Enigma machine called "Rooftop troubles" that will help you understand the Bernoulli Principle and why hurricanes can suck roofs off into the sky like child's play. It reinforces concepts in chapters 11 and 12. Look for the Enigma icon in Webcourses, on the home page.
