Newton's Second Law and Unbalanced Forces
Newton's Second Law
In this presentation, you will take a look at Newton’s Second Law of motion, and see how objects behave when forces on them are unbalanced. Then, you will combine your understanding of Newton’s Second Law with your earlier study of kinematics to see how you can better understand situations involving constant acceleration. Once you’re familiar with forces and Newton’s Second Law, it will be time to revisit kinematics to see how forces and acceleration tie in with position and velocity. Click the player to begin.
