Review the topics of forces and Newton's Laws covered in AP Physics 1 in this video. Each topic reviews both concepts and an example problem. [17:15]

The dog show looks like chaos in the ring, but the commotion can be explained by just three simple laws of motion. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Force equals mass times acceleration. And for every action, there is an equal...

Force equals mass times acceleration. Physics whizzes apply this formula to six different diagrams, solving eight acceleration problems in all. This is a practical assignment, perfect for homework when practicing Newton's second law of...

Classical mechanics are introduced and Newton's Laws of Motion are explained, one at a time. Consisting mostly of still frames and a narrator's voice, this video is difficult to pay attention to. Rather than show it in the classroom,...
