Sophia: Finding Net Force: Lesson 2

Pass along the knowledge of the great Sir Isaac Newton with this worksheet on the laws of motion. Including three separate problems, each involving multiple parts and calculations, this resource is a great way to...

This lesson demonstrates how to find the net force acting on an object. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Finding Net Force."

How is tug of war related to pushing a refrigerator? Here's a simulation connects these two activities with Newton's First Law of Motion. Four different simulations allow scholars to explore net force with tug of war, motion with pushing...

Physics learners studying force and acceleration practice solving eight problems with this assignment. They calculate acceleration and deceleration, net force, and distances required for stopping a moving object. Kinematics equations and...

This lesson will explain how to calculate net forces on an object being pushed or pulled. It is 2 of 4 in the series titled "Calculating Forces."

Let's get moving! Newton juniors solve 19 problems using force, speed, and acceleration equations. This is a nifty instructional activity that includes a few diagrams and multiple choice selections for each question. It provides the...

Class members use mathematics in order to better understand magnetic forces and their interaction on charged particles. After a demonstration of the interaction between a magnet and an electron beam using a CRT computer monitor,...

This lesson will explain how to calculate net forces on an object being pushed or pulled. It is 3 of 4 in the series titled "Calculating Forces."

Using the Cartesian coordinate system, future flight experts plot points to determine whether or not an airplane will fly. With the four forces of weight, lift, drag, and thrust represented in different quadrants, your physics learners...

This lesson introduces the concept of inertia and explains how Galileo Galilei used inclined planes to develop the concept of inertia. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Galileo's Inclined Planes."
