Learning objectives

Students will be able to investigate how an object's motion changes only when a net force is applied.

Use the arrows to change the mass of the ball and the net force applied to the ball. Then click Play to start the animation. The displacement of the ball and the amount of time that has passed are displayed at the top of the screen. Click Pause to pause the animation and Reset to start over.
