Newton's First Law of Motion: Mass and Inertia
Did you know that if you throw a rock in space, whatever velocity it has at the moment that it leaves your hand, it will continue moving with that velocity indefinitely? That's Newton's first law. It applies to objects on earth as well,...
Professor Dave Explains
Newton's Second Law of Motion: F = ma
One of the best things about Newton was the way that he showed how natural phenomena abide by rigid mathematical principles. So much so that we can use mathematical equations to calculate how objects will actually behave. This equation,...

Bozeman Science: Interaction Forces
Mr. Anderson illustrates the concept that forces on an object always require another object, and that an object cannot exert a force on itself. If net forces on an object are balanced the object will remain at rest or move with a...

Bozeman Science: Vector Sum of Forces
Paul Andersen explains how the vector sum of forces can be used to identify the net force on an object. The net force can be used to determine the overall acceleration of the object using Newton's Second Law. [6:54]

Bozeman Science: Position, Velocity & Acceleration
In the following video Paul Andersen explains for the position of an object over time can be used to calculate the velocity and acceleration of the object. If a net force acts on a object it will experience an acceleration. [7:55]
