Description
In episode six of the Shedding Light on Motion series, presenter Spiro Liacos is "thrown forward" in a head-on collision, "thrown backwards" when his tram takes off, and "thrown to the side" when his car suddenly turns a corner. But in fact none of these things actually happen! Using brilliant visuals, this episode looks at the fact that an object will remain stationary or move with a constant velocity unless a force acts on it. It also describes...

In episode seven of the Shedding Light on Motion series, we answer the most important question that has ever been asked: how does a magician pull a tablecloth out from under a dinner set? No, seriously, we look at the so simple and yet so powerful equation F = ma. Newton's Second Law tells us how to calculate the amount of force required to accelerate something by a given amount.

In episode eight of the Shedding Light on Motion series, we look at that most poetic of all Laws. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. How does a rocket engine work? Why do guns recoil when fired? How do our muscles work? What propels us when we're swimming? And how exactly is gravity a two-way interaction? All these questions, and many more, are answered in this excellent video.

In this video lesson, Paul Andersen explains how Newton's Second Law applies when a net force acts on a body. The net force vector and the acceleration vector will act in the same direction. If an object acts on another object in a system, the center of mass of the system will experience no acceleration.--Publisher.

In this video lesson, Paul Andersen explains how Newton's Third Law applies to all objects. When an object applies a force to another object (Action), an equal and opposite force (Reaction) is applied to the original object. Several scenarios are described to show these action-reaction pairs. Free-body diagrams are used to describe all of the external forces from these interactions.--Publisher.

This second 15-question physics review will help you refresh and practice the concepts related to Newton's first law, analysis of static equilibrium, construction of free body diagrams, weight as a force, other common types of force (normal, tension, friction), Newton's second law, Newton's third law, and quantitative applications of Newton's laws.

Description
Isaac Newton's three Laws of Motion are clearly described, using animation and video to illustrate each law at work. This video introduction to Newton's Laws combines creative animation with concise narration and a touch of humor. The program is designed to help viewers develop a basic understanding of each law and how it works in the real world. A number of key physical science terms are introduced and defined: motion, inertia, friction, force, mass,...

In section one of this program, colliding basketball players demonstrate the Principle of Conservation of Momentum, while section two debuts all three of Newton's Laws of Motion, as illustrated by moving a large bookcase, hanging from a rope, and pushing against a wall. Newtonian concepts of inertia, force, mass, weight, equilibrium, tension, and momentum, plus free-body diagramming, are also covered. "Live the laws, love the laws, be one with the...

"In The Natural Laws of Business, Richard Koch reveals an accurate way in which managers and executives can use fundamental principles of science to anticipate and dramatically improve their chances of success. From Newtonian physics and Mendelian genetics to cutting-edge chaos theories, science explains how and why the world - induding the business world - works the way it does. Koch provides explanations of key scientific and economic theories,...
