Newtons 1st Law of Motion - the Law of Inertia Explained!
Newton's 1st Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia, tells us that an object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. This means that in order for an object to...

The ONE thing your teacher is NOT telling you that will simply forces!
Forces are all around us and are the reason why objects accelerate (speed up, slow down or change direction)! Forces can either be balanced or unbalanced. When the forces are balanced, the net force is 0 and the object's motion will not...

How to Calculate Kinetic Energy (KE)
The kinetic energy of an object is based on the mass of the object and it's velocity. The more mass an object has, the more kinetic energy it has and the faster the object is moving, the more kinetic energy an object has. The formula...
