With this hands-on lesson, help learners understand force, gravity, friction, and speed. Students will also learn how each of these concepts affects the another.

Forces are everywhere. Learn what they are, the characteristics of forces, different kinds of forces, and factors that affect them.

Explore the effects of forces around us in the world.

Provides a long list of physics formulas for easy reference.

What is friction? Illustrated discussion of friction including the three types, its importance, and why it is avoided.

Learners investigate forces and Newton's laws. Some topics examined are mass, friction, and Newton?s laws of motion. The resource includes example problems with solutions and a chapter quiz.

To learn how friction affects motion, students explore how different textures provide varying amounts of friction to objects moving across them. They build a tool to measure the amount of friction between a note card and various surfaces...

A short biography about Charles Coulomb, known for developing Coulomb's law, the definition of the electrostatic force of attraction and repulsion.

This virtual experiment is designed to let the student measure the relation between muzzle velocity (which determines projectile energy), gravitational potential and the effects of frictional drag caused by wind speed blowing opposite to...

Demonstrate inertia by pushing a nickel out of the bottom of a stack without disturbing the rest of the stack.

This interesting and interactive exhibit demonstrates how Newton's Laws of Motion impact the design and safety of roller coasters.
