| Title | Discovering Newton's Second Law |
| Simulations | Gaya Satu Dimensi |
| Keywords | Proportionality |
| Description | Students seem to have problems relating forces and acceleration, because they don't know how big a Newton is, or a kilogram for that matter. This exercise has them relate forces to acceleration so they can find mass (algebraically). It helps them to see that Net Force and Acceleration are related through the mass, regardless of friction or other factors. |
