Create an applied force and see how it makes objects move. Change friction and see how it affects the motion of objects. Explore the forces at work when pulling against a cart, and pushing a refrigerator, crate, or person.
An interactive simulation by PhET to explore the effects of forces and motion on different objects, including adjusting friction levels.
Forces and Motion: Basics - PhET Interactive Simulations
Force and Motion: Basics Mass and Acceleration. Did you know? Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Acceleration is a change in motion. Speeding up, slowing down, and changing directions are all forms of acceleration. Investigation Question. How does the mass of an object affect its acceleration? Prediction. Procedure. 1.
Explore the basics of forces and motion with this interactive simulation by PhET.
Interactive simulation to explore the effects of force, motion, and friction on object speed and position.
1. Create a scenario on the rope pull which in which the forces are BALANCED. a. Draw a picture of the VECTOR ARROWS and the NET FORCE (SUM OF FORCES) ARROW in the space below. b. What is the NET FORCE on the cart? 2. Create a scenario on the rope pull in which the forces are UNBALANCED. a.
