Physics Classroom is making strides to make our site accessible to
everyone, and features many accessibility features.
Our site contains 6 navigation areas. The Primary, Secondary,
and Page Level navigations have a screen reader version of their nav
structure that allows using the left and right keys to navigate sibling
navigation items, and up or down keys to navigate parent or child
navigation items. The others can be navigated using tabs.
Within the main content, we leverage headers to provide in page or
in tool navigation.
Although we are still rebuilding our content to leverage these tools,
our images should have both short and verbose descriptions, the later
describing in great detail the image for those who cannot see. Any
formulas found within the images are often in the image figure below the image.
Equations and formulas are rendered using MathJax, which has both verbal,
braille (including nemath braille), and keyboard navigation within them.
Learn how to configure and leverage this for various screen readers on our
Equation Navigation Page.
While not every area of
Physics Classroom is usable purely from keyboard and screen reader, we
are committed to continue work on making this possible. If you have
questions or need additional help, please use

The Power Video Tutorial discusses the concept of power and distinguishes it from work. The meaning of a power rating is explained and related to work and time. The equation relating power to work and time and to force and velocity is explained and used in two examples.
The video lesson answers the following questions:
How are power and work different than one another?
How do you analyze physical situations to determine the power delivered by an object?
Minds On Physics, Work and Energy module, Mission WE2
Minds On Physics (affectionately known as MOPs) is like good medicine. At times it may not taste good but it's exactly what the doctor ordered. Give this one a try and seal up your understanding of power.
The Calculator Pad, Work and Energy Problem Set, Problems #6-9
If your Physics course puts an emphasis on algebraic problem-solving, then you need to get acquainted with our Calculator Pad - a collection of problem sets with answers and audio-guided solutions. This problem set contains 4 problems on Power.
Teacher Toolkits, Work-Energy Fundamentals
Try a Teacher Toolkit ... you might be very glad that you did. Each toolkit includes annotated links to vetted resources from across the web that we feel reliably support the specific topic. Give this one on work and energy a try.
Minds On Physics, Work and Energy module, Mission WE2
Minds On Physics (affectionately known as MOPs) is like good medicine. At times it may not taste good but it's exactly what the doctor ordered. This one on the topic of power makes a great follow-up to this video. And if you have a Task Tracker account, you can assign it as homework and track student progress.
The Calculator Pad, Work and Energy Problem Set, Problems #6-9
If you put an emphasis on algebraic problem-solving in your course, then the Calculator Pad can be your friend (and your students' friend). It consists of a collection of problem sets with answers and audio-guided solutions. This problem set contains 4 problems on Power.
