Newton's Second Law: Acceleration

Newton’s Second Law: Acceleration
This Newton’s laws of motion product includes a complete set of teaching and learning materials for analyzing the motion and determining the acceleration of objects in different situations using Newton’s second law. In addition to drawing free body diagrams, your students will learn how to calculate the magnitude of the force of gravity, the normal force, the applied force and the force of friction. Students will also be introduced to the concept of the coefficient of friction and its effect on the acceleration of an object.

This product contains everything you need: presentations for Newton’s three laws of motion with example problems for calculating acceleration using Newton’s second law of motion; four sets of practice exercises where your students will analyze the motion of objects using free body diagrams to calculate the forces acting on an object, the coefficient of friction and acceleration; a complete in depth set of notes covering all three of Newton’s laws of motion; and answer keys for all exercises.

At the top of the notes and each set of exercises there is a link to videos from my Step by Step Science YouTube channel. The videos provide detailed descriptions and additional examples that correspond to the problems on the exercise sheets. This is a great resource for distance learners or students who are not able to be in class for this lesson. All exercises and presentations are provided in PDF and fully editable formats.

If your students are not yet familiar with free body diagrams, consider my companion product on this topic.
