Free Fall and Newton's Second Law Video Tutorial
The Free Fall and Newton's Second Law Video Tutorial discusses what free fall means, describes several observations of free falling objects having accelerations that are independent of their mass, and uses Newton's second law to explain why the free fall acceleration does not depend upon mass. Numerous examples, illustrations, and video footage assist in the explanations. The video lesson answers the following questions:
- Why does the free-fall acceleration of an object not depend upon the mass of the object?
