Open Stax: Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation

Three memorable activities build on each other to give physics masters a firm grasp of Newton's Second Law. Pupils play with a lab cart on a flat surface and on an incline to confirm that force is equal to mass times acceleration. In the...

Your class may be able to recite Newton's Third Law of Motion ... but do they actually believe it? See a simple, yet impactful explanation of inertia in a short video that discloses the facts on how much gravitational force Earth exerts...

This lesson will describe Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation. It is 3 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation."

In the following interactive students will begin to define net force, external force, and system and understand Newton's second law of motion. They will also apply Newton's second law to determine the weight of an object.

In the following interactive students will begin to understand Newton's third law of motion and also apply it to define systems and solve problems of motion.

In the following interactive students will begin to define mass and inertia and understand Newton's first law of motion.

Newton would have been a great football coach. A 10-part video series examines several physics topics through a football lens. Using Newton's Second Law of Motion, individuals learn how force applies to kicking a football.
