This video describes Newton's three laws of motion and how they relate to the everyday motion of a bicycle. [3:33] Followed by a short quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.

Through illustrated examples and practice problems, students explore the centripetal force requirement. So for an object moving in a circle, there must be an inward force acting upon it in order to cause its inward acceleration.

Many students of physics do not believe in centripetal/inward forces. Even after completion of a thorough physics course, such students will still incorrectly believe that an object moving in a circle experiences an outward force. Use...

A collection of video lectures from a moment of inertia course taught at East Los Angeles College. The course teaches moment of inertia explaining the theory and giving examples with nine lectures. Lectures vary in length.

A great science experiment to demonstrate Newton's First Law of Motion, inertia. There is a step-by-step guide on how to conduct this experiment and links to other sites about inertia.

Step-by-step illustrated instructions showing how to drop four eggs into four cups without touching them. Demonstrates the concept of inertia according to Newton's first law of motion.

See Newton's First Law of Motion in action. View a movie that illustrates this principle of physics.

A lab activity written for grade 5. Students roll various cans down inclined planes and compare the times required to reach the bottom. Results are related to rotational inertia.

This interesting and interactive exhibit demonstrates how Newton's Laws of Motion impact the design and safety of roller coasters.

A handy resource that gives an overview of equations and definitions pertinent to an introductory, college-level physics course, with two of its three sections focusing on motion-related topics and principles.

Manipulate variables while exploring principles and relationships related to moving in a circle at a constant speed. Students change the radius of the circle, the speed of the object, and the mass of the object and investigate the effect...

The motion of three simple harmonic oscillators is animated to illustrate the effects of mass and spring constant upon the motion. Several equations and a lengthy discussion accompany the animations.

This is a glossary of terms and definitions used in Chapter 4: Force and Newton's Laws of Motion from the AP Physics online text.

This lesson focuses on Newton's First Law: an object remains in the same state of motion unless a resultant force acts on it. If the resultant force on an object is zero, this means: a stationary object stays stationary; a moving object...

Assess your understanding of Newton's three laws of motion and the ability to distinguish between the three with this interactive multiple choice quiz. Receive immediate feedback to your answers.

This lab to look at how the moment of inertia affects the motion of a wheel down an incline.

A lab activity in which students observe the rolling of objects along an inclined plane. The the rotational inertia of the objects are compared based upon their acceleration along the incline. Directions and assessment ideas are given.

Within this resource, you will learn more about Newton's first law and real-world applications of this law.

In this inquiry or guided inquiry (depending on grade level) investigation, learners will examine factors affecting rotational inertia. Students will keep a science journal of their investigation.

Investigate how torque causes an object to rotate. Discover the relationships between angular acceleration, moment of inertia, angular momentum and torque.

Students explore rotational kinematics and dynamics. Some topics examined in the activities are rotational inertia, kinematics, and translational motion. The resource consists of video clips, lecture notes, practice problems, and exam...

Students are introduced to the concept of inertia and its application to a world without the force of friction acting on moving objects. When an object is in motion, friction tends to be the force that acts on this object to slow it down...

Students construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string. They use this model to learn about Newton's three laws of motion, examining the effect of different forces on the motion of the rocket.

In this lesson, students watch a video and animations that relate Isaac Newton's three laws of motion to baseball and apply what they've learned about these laws to another sport or other real-life situation.
