[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Acceleration due to gravity and why falling objects with different masses accelerate at the same rate.
Physics Aviary
Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Dump Tower Level 1
Students must find the acceleration due to gravity on a planet and the impact speed of an object that has been falling from the top of a garish tower.
Physics Aviary
Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Dump Tower Level 2
Students must find the time it has been falling and the average speed it has been falling between to stories of a garish tower.
Physics Aviary
Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Dump Tower Level 3
Students will be given information about a planet and they must calculate how long it takes an object to fall from the top of a garish tower.
Physics Aviary
Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Dump Tower Level 4
Students will try to determine the mass of a planet based on the falling of an object from the top of a garish tower.
Physics Classroom
The Physics Classroom: Newtons Laws: Skydiving Interactive
Students explore the motion of an object falling under the influence of air resistance. Force arrows and values are shown as the object falls, and a speedometer displays the speed of the object. The mass of the falling object and the...

The Physics Classroom: Momentum and Collisions: Egg Drop Interactive
This egg-drop simulation allows students to explore the variables that result in a safe landing or a broken egg. The emphasis of the accompanying activity sheet is on the use of science reasoning skills to understand the physics behind...
BBC
Bbc: Gcse Bitesize: Forces
Forces are responsible for all the interactions between particles and objects. They can be put into two categories: contact forces and non-contact forces. Forces can be added up as vectors.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Air Resistance
Use the TI-89 to investigate the effect of air resistance on a free-falling object. Examples in the activity use calculator screenprints and keystroke instructions to demonstrate the use of the calculator to solve these problems....
