High schoolers investigate the interdependence of mass and gravitational acceleration using computer simulation. In this physics lesson, students derive the formula for acceleration due to gravity. They calculate air resistance on...

In this forces activity, students use the equations for acceleration and Newton's second law to learn about different motions and forces. This activity has 7 problems to solve.

Students visualize the relation between acceleration and velocity in 2 dimensions. They are introduced to Newton's first law,and Newton's second law. Students work on an exploration activity where they condsider an example of a...

Students describe how cosmic rays achieve high kinetic energy via conservation of momentum.

Learn more about finding acceleration through the practices found in this lesson. "The process of determining the acceleration of an object demands that the mass and the net force are known." Check out this comprehensive site.
