Newton's 2nd Law -- Resource

The resource I've chosen is a great example of Newton's 2nd Law of Motion. Though it's silly, the concept is simple and helpful. What we'll see in the video is an example of the force required to accelerate an object with more (and much more) mass.

The interactive video allows for a visual representation of Newton's 2nd Law rather than just projecting words on a screen.



This news report is interesting because it uses a soccer as the example. He says that the more mass an object has, a bigger force must be exerted to accelerate the ball.

The second ball he used was bigger. He said to the man that he should "accelerate [his] leg and create a bigger force."
The third ball was huge. "We don't know if [he] can create the force needed to move this much mass." (Mike). It was difficult to accelerate the ball with the bigger mass.

I hope this helps and gets you thinking and understanding Newton's 2nd Law of Motion!

CHEERS.
