Forces and Motion
Instructions
This simulation explores the concepts of net force and acceleration. Choose from one of four scenarios by clicking on its icon.
- Is there any difference in a force that applies a pull versus a push?
- Is it possible to apply a force and not have motion?
- What effect does friction have on motion?
- Can you determine the mass of the present in the "Motion" or "Friction" scenarios?
- In the "Acceleration" scenario, why does the surface of the water become tilted?
