Forces

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

These simple slides are basic, but clear, in their summary of physical forces. Definitions of friction, air resistance, gravity, freefall and projectiles are given along with a couple of helpful diagrams. More examples always help to teach these physics concepts, so this PowerPoint would be a great addition to an existing lecture.
