Learning objectives
Students will be able to assess the relationship between force, mass and acceleration.Real world applications
When you go bowling, it is easier to achieve a high speed with a lighter ball than it is with a heavier ball. How are the size and speed of the ball related to the effort it takes to send it rolling down the alley?
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.
