Sophia: Friction & Net Force: Lesson 1

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 explains how friction is part of the net force acting on an object. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Friction & Net Force."

This lesson explains why static friction depends on normal forces. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Static Friction & Normal Forces."

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...

This lesson explains why kinetic friction depends on normal forces. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Kinetic Friction & Normal Forces."

A realistic simulation uses charts to show forces, position, velocity, and acceleration versus time based on how the simulation is set up. Once those concepts are mastered, scholars use free body diagrams to explain how each graph...

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 demonstrates how to find the net force acting on objects, at rest or, sliding across inclined planes. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Inclined Planes & Net Force."

This lesson explains the difference between contact and normal forces. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Contact & Normal Forces."

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."
