Force and Newton's Laws: Gravity
This video discusses the principle of force and the application of Newton's Three Laws of Motion. Students will witness the effect of friction on force and see how force is calculated. Other terminology includes: inertia, weight, mass,...
Professor Dave Explains
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
You thought we were all done with Newton, didn't you? You figured that three laws are enough for any scientist. Well think again! Newton was quite the champ, and his work with gravity was revolutionary. I mean, the guy invented calculus...
Curated OER
Isaac Newton, Part 2/2
The conclusion of a two-part series looks at Isaac NewtonÕs Year of Miracles through a comic lens, making his Law of Universal Gravitation easily understood for those studying action, reaction, inertia, and force.
