Students observe the relationship between the angle of a catapult (a force measurement) and the flight of a cotton ball. They learn how Newton's second law of motion works by seeing directly that F = ma. When they pull the metal "arm"...

Learners will create a gravity ball launcher to demonstrate their understanding of mass, force, momentum, and motion. The students will use critical thinking, measurement, and observation and analysis of data to make changes and improve...

Through the use of free-body diagrams and Newton's laws, students analyze the motion of two objects together.

How do Newton's Laws connect with electrical forces? This overview illustrates how they blend together. After studying this explanation, test understanding with the review questions provided.

By the end of this section, you will be able to apply a problem-solving procedure to solve problems using Newton's laws of motion.

NASA presents a concise explanation of Newton's three laws of motion. Click on the highlighted vocabulary to find more detailed and illustrated descriptions. Included is a link to a movie that shows how the laws of motion described the...

In this instructional activity, 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. It includes...

Through a series of three lessons and one activity, students are introduced to inertia, forces, and Newton's three laws of motion.

In this activity, students will learn about Newton's 2nd Law of Motion. They will learn that the force required to move a book is proportional to the weight of the book. Engineers use this relationship to determine how much force they...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about Newton's 2nd Law - the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration for a hot air balloon using this interactive simulation. A PDF worksheet and a video tutorial are also available....

[Free Registration/Login Required] Read a force scenario, and then analyze the graphs provided to gain an understanding of inertia and force. After the activity, answer three challenge questions to check for understanding.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will identify how work and force are figured out on inclined planes as well as how to apply Newton's Second Law of Motion to them.

From a chapter on Linear Momentum and Collisions in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter covers linear momentum, how momentum and force are related, how momentum fits into Newton's second law of motion, and how to calculate...

By the end of this section, you will be able to define linear momentum, explain the relationship between linear momentum and force, state Newton's second law of motion in terms of linear momentum, and calculate linear momentum given mass...

Physiclips thoroughly presents Newton's laws with animations and film clips.

This lesson explains how momentum is related to Newton's second law of motion.

This lesson explains how momentum is related to Newton's second law of motion.

This experiment examines Newton's Second Law of Motion. Learn how centrifugal and centripetal force help to keep a marble in a can when turned upside down.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about Newton's 2nd Law- the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, for a wind-powered boat.

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...

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...

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this simulation, students investigate the question of whether force is required to keep a sled moving on ice.
