This lesson focuses on Newton's Law for falling objects including terminal velocity, the three stages of falling, a diagram showing what happens to the speed of a skydiver from airplane to ground, velocity-time graphs for falling...

Use this outline to find out about Newton's Laws of Motion. Use the different lesson plans covering the laws of motion to learn more.

Students learn the basics of the law of inertia with this short tutorial and accompanying animation which demonstrates the motion.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define net force, external force, and system; understand Newton's second law of motion; and apply Newton's second law to determine the weight of an object.

This lesson will approach the study of Newton's 3 Laws of Motion using McGraw-Hill Science textbook Unit F. The students will be given an overview of the laws and vocabulary words to study. After introducing and explaining the concept of...

Describes the logic behind the development of Newton's law of universal gravitation. Beginning with Johannes Kepler and his three laws of planetary motion, content walks the reader through Newton's thought process and development of this...

Through examples and practice problems, this interactive tutorial helps students understand the Law of Action-Reaction as it has to do with Newton's Laws.

Have you ever felt that queasy feeling in a moving elevator? Explore the physics behind the sensations of weightlessness and weightiness. Teacher notes and a downloadable handout are also provided.

Explore how Newton's three laws apply to the world of atoms and molecules. Start with the originally contradictory observation of Brownian motion. Then, each law is addressed at the atomic level.

Read about the life of Isaac Newton and his many accomplishments in physics, mathematics, optics, and religious study, and how his discoveries helped in space research.

By the end of this section, you will be able to state Hooke's law; explain Hook's law using graphical representations between deformation and applied force; discuss the three types of deformations: changes in length, sideways shear, and...

This technology-based lesson will review Newton's three laws of motion. After reviewing the laws, the learners will be divided into three groups. Each group will be assigned one of Newton's laws and asked to create a presentation...

Students come to see the exponential trend demonstrated through the changing temperatures measured while heating and cooling a beaker of water. This task is accomplished by first appealing to students' real-life heating and cooling...

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...

This resource provides alternate or additional learning opportunities for students learning the three Newton's Laws of Motion. It includes a collection of interactive materilas, videos, and other digital media.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define drag force and model it mathematically, discuss the applications of drag force, define terminal velocity, and perform calculations to find terminal velocity.

By the end of this section, you will be able to discuss the general characteristics of friction, describe the various types of friction, and calculate the magnitudes of static and kinetic frictional forces.

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

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about the universal law of gravity and the role Newton played in relating terrestrial and celestial mechanics to one another.

Through illustrated examples and interactive practice problems, students find the value of forces acting upon objects using force equations.

This lab was designed to have students investigate the factors that affect the acceleration of an object on a frictionless horizontal surface. The simulation will give the students a position vs. time graph and a velocity vs. time graph....

This lab was designed to have students investigate the factors that affect the acceleration of an object on a frictionless horizontal surface. The simulation will give the students data from two photogates which they must use to find the...

Students are give the opportunity to practice some action-reaction pair problems. Each example is self-checking for on-the-spot reinforcement.

This lab was designed to have students investigate the factors that affect the acceleration of an object on a frictionless horizontal surface. The simulation will give the students position vs. time data and they will have to determine...
