Newton’s Law in Action

Physics 2015: Newton’s Law in Action
Purpose
Study the relationship between acceleration and forces by observing
…in which direction acceleration occurs when forces act on an object, and
…the dependence of acceleration on other properties, mainly mass and force
We will use free body diagrams to understand these basic principles.
