This lesson provides the learner with example problems on calculating gravitational force. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Practice w/ Gravitational Force."

Learn more about finding acceleration through the practices found in this lesson. "The process of determining the acceleration of an object demands that the mass and the net force are known." Check out this comprehensive site.

After a review of force, types of forces, and Newton's first law, students are introduced to Newton's second law of motion: force = mass x acceleration.

Learn how to perform a ticker tape analysis as a way to analyze the motion of an object.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How to draw a velocity-time graph and what it represents.

A lesson in which students design a machine that makes motion.

This lesson introduces the concept a systems and explains why it is important to properly define a system. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Introduction to a System."

This lesson introduces the concept of the free-body diagram. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Free-Body Diagram."

This lesson introduces the concept a systems and explains why it is important to properly define a system. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Introduction to a System."

Through a series of three lessons and one activity, students are introduced to inertia, forces, and Newton's three laws of motion.

Under the "The Science Behind Harry Potter" theme, a succession of diverse complex scientific topics are presented to students through direct immersive interaction. Student interest is piqued by the incorporation of popular culture into...

Access hundreds of teacher-tested, practical physics lessons on this well-organized, illustrated site. Find just the right demonstration, attention-grabber, or lab for any physics teaching objective at your fingertips.

This is an interactive inquiry where students will investigate the speed of an object and the energy it exerts as it crashes into other objects. Students will understand that the more speed an object has, the more energy it has in a...

A collection of experiments where students can learn about how friction works and affects the physical world. At the end, students design a tortoise to win by slowing it down using friction. Lesson includes explanation of the concept of...

Through illustrated examples and practice problems, students explore the centripetal force requirement. So for an object moving in a circle, there must be an inward force acting upon it in order to cause its inward acceleration.

This physics tutorial provides students illustrated examples and interactive practice problems containing perpendicular components of motion.

This illustrated tutorial discusses the horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's motion; specific attention will be given to the presence/absence of forces, accelerations, and velocity.

Students apply both kinematic principles and Newton's laws of motion to understand and explain the motion of objects moving in two dimensions, more specifically, the motion of projectiles.

Using the values of speed, acceleration, and force, students explore and analyze the motion of objects in circles.

This tutorial investigates pendulum motion and how a variety of quantities change over the course of time. Such quantities will include forces, position, velocity and energy - both kinetic and potential energy. Take the interactive...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Featurea the definition of combining forces: Pulling down and pushing up, forces acting in opposite directions, forces acting in the same direction.

Through illustrated examples and interactive practice problems, students find the value of forces acting upon objects using force equations.

Need some practice drawing free-body diagrams? This slideshow lesson gives several examples of different situations and the forces that need to be shown in the free-body diagram.

Through interactive practice problems and illustrated examples, students explore energy relationships for satellites.
