This lesson in high school physics on Newton's Second Law of Motion provides a discussion of free fall and air resistance, and answers, "Why do objects which encounter air resistance ultimately reach a terminal velocity?" and "In...

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.

From high school geography class, you may remember that "air tends to flow from high pressure to low pressure". To understand why this happens, it is key to realizing that gasses (but also liquids) exert a force on their surroundings...

This site by the Illinois Institute of Technology gives a Lab activity in which students use a variety of toys to discover Newton's second law and momentum conservation. Newton's cradle, skate boards, and a toy motorcycle are incoporated...

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.

This lecture covers Newton's three laws of motion. You can watch the lecture on video or listen to audio. A transcript of the lecture and practice problems are also provided.

Presents labeled illustrations modeling each of Newton's three laws of motion along with explanations.

This University of Minnesota site provides a series of contextually rich problems pertaining to force, Newton's second law of motion, and linear kinematics.

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...

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...

Adjust the mass of one of the balls to see how the other objects are affected in the animated Newton's Cradle.

Combined with aspects of circular motion, students discover that Kepler's third law follows directly from the law of universal gravitation. This unit will expand upon the conservation of energy principle for problems beyond the confines...

This resource provides a discussion of Newton's Laws of Motion.

Newton's three laws are deceptively simple, but they are the underpinning of all of physics and govern the mechanics all of your actions in everyday life. Take an in-depth look at these laws in this learning module.

In this culminating activity of the unit which highlights how forces play a role in engineering design and material choices, students explore and apply their knowledge of forces, friction, acceleration, and gravity in a two-part experiment.

A short quiz on Newton's famous laws of motion. Has ten multiple-choice questions.
