  • Forces (PPT)
  • Join to access all included materials

Is your class struggling with Newton's Second Law? Then show them a presentation that covers everything physics scholars need to know about forces. Starting with gravity, the slides focus on Newton's Laws of Motion, and end with an examination of terminal velocity. Remember, your MA is a FORCE to be reckoned with.
