Provides an overview of how Newton's three laws of motion can be used to explain and predict the motion of everyday objects. The effect of friction, including air resistance, is highlighted, and the concept of inertia is illustrated with classic demonstrations. Features questions for class discussion, as well as the remarkable Rocketman, who provides a dramatic example of the third law in action.

The Standard Deviants discuss the three laws of Sir Isaac Newton. This branch of study is also known as Newtonian physics, and it applies to everyday conditions of speed, time, and gravitational pull. Other topics covered include forces in equilibrium, mass as opposed to weight, inertia, static and kinetic friction, and tension. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
The Standard Deviants explore Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Next, they discuss simple harmonic motion pendulums. Other topics covered include cycle, amplitude, wavelength, frequency, spring constants, and the restoring force. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
From cyclists to race cars, the motion of an object is determined by the sum of the forces acting on it. An aeronautics engineer works with Newton's three laws of motion to test the best bicycle posture and helmet in a wind tunnel.
In the first segment, a shuttle astronaut compares eating, sleeping, bathing, and working and relaxing in space with life on earth. The second segment focuses on Newton's Three Laws of Motion as the astronaut demonstrates them with cans of pudding.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the term dynamics. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Introduces caveman Zog to Newton's basic laws of motion. By observing objects on earth and in space, Zog learns that nothing can start moving, speed up, slow down, change direction, or stop unless a force is applied to it--even if the force is hard to see, like gravity or friction. He learns that for every force there is an equal and opposite force and that is the principle behind jet propulsion. And he learns that, scientifically, work occurs only when a force moves an object some distance.
This video discusses the principle of force and the application of Newton's three laws of motion. Through the use of real-world examples, students will witness the effect of friction on force. Other topics covered include inertia, weight, mass, gravity, and the law of universal gravitation.
Through observation and experimentation, students will learn properties of forces, Newton’s Laws of Motion, and how pressure affects the world. Real world examples encourage students to explore their surroundings and to discover the impact forces have on everyday life. Part of the Real World Science series.
Students will explore the principles of motion, speed, velocity, and acceleration. They will learn how to calculate speed and acceleration through the use of numerous examples that illustrate the principles of motion. Other topics covered include frame of reference, momentum, and conservation of momentum.

Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the term translational motion. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
It seems like something strange is happening with the laws of physics when falling thousands of feet from the sky. Turns out, everything relies on the simple force of drag. Part of the "Science Out Loud" series.
How did 20th-century physics change long-held notions of light's makeup and behavior? This group of 12 concise computer-animated videos illustrates Einstein's monumental contributions to the study of light. Shows how rudimentary ideas of material wave motion yielded to more advanced concepts of electromagnetic waves by detailing Einstein's conclusions about the speed of light and his conception of time, which-given his findings on mass and energy-proceeds according to variable frames of reference. Conveys relativistic thought experiments through helpful animation, which demonstrate simultaneity, time dilation, length contraction, and relativistic mass.
Things really get spinning with a discussion of accelerated circular motion. The Standard Deviants explain rotational motion, which is the rotation of objects like planets. Along the way, students learn about radical radians and linear momentum. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
Students will learn about force and the effects of force on objects. Visual examples and real-life demonstrations promote an understanding of how things move. Important terminology includes force, work, friction, gravity, mass, and acceleration.
Donna Lawson currently serves as the legislative affairs officer for NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. Since 2003, she’s been responsible for developing and implementing strategies to communicate the value of NASA programs to federal, state, and local government officials. She is deeply committed to building advocacy for NASA and maintaining U.S. leadership in aerospace. Part of the "Women@NASA" series.
Patrick Sanan, who studied mathematics at UC San Diego, explains how he combined geometry and physics to create the virtual tiger in the Oscar award-winning motion picture "Life of Pi."
