Serc: Newton's Second Law: How Does Acceleration Change With Varying Forces?
In this lab activity, students investigate the effects of changing force on the acceleration of a lab cart testing Newton's Second Law of Motion. They will use distance and time to calculate velocity and create a graph representing their...

The Physics Classroom: Newton's Laws: Determining the Net Force
Students combine their understanding of acceleration and the fact that a net force causes an acceleration to determine whether or not a net force exists in several practice situations. After each problem, they are able to check their...
