More on Newton's second law
An elaboration on how to use Newton's second law when dealing with multiple forces, forces in two dimensions, and diagonal forces.
An elaboration on how to use Newton's second law when dealing with multiple forces, forces in two dimensions, and diagonal forces.
An elaboration on some of the common misconceptions in dealing with Newton's Third Law. He also shows how to correctly and reliably identify Third Law force pairs.
Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, or force is equal to mass times acceleration. Learn how to use the formula to calculate acceleration.
Learn about Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Look at multiple examples that illustrate this law, including pushing a block on ice, pushing against a desk, walking on sand, how rockets work, and how an astronaut could save themselves from drifting in space.
This online interactive lesson discusses what reflections are and provides examples of reflections.
This online lesson explains what rotations are.
This video will look at rotation. Rotation involves turning a shape around a set point.
This online lesson explores the concept of translations.
Students learn about two-axis rotations, and specifically how to rotate objects both physically and mentally about two axes. A two-axis rotation is a rotation of an object about a combination of x, y or z-axes, as opposed to a single-axis rotation, which is about a single x, y or z-axis. Students practice drawing two-axis rotations through an exercise using simple cube blocks to create shapes, and then drawing on triangle-dot paper the shapes from various x-, y- and z-axis rotation perspectives.
