Ted: Ted Ed: Would You Weigh Less in an Elevator?
Video that uses an elevator in motion to describe the relationship among weight, gravity, and relative motion. [3:36] Includes a short quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.
Physics Classroom
The Physics Classroom: Vectors: Inclined Planes
Through examples and interactive practice problems, this physics tutorial helps students understand how forces behave on an object on an inclined plane.
South Carolina Educational Television
Know It All: Lift | Nasa Online
An upward force called lift acts on the airplane and opposes the downward forces of gravity. The lift force allows the airplane to get off the ground and stay in the air. Watch the simulation to see how this works.
