Welcome to the Force and Motion page. Here you will discover information on the position and motion of objects and how they can be changed by various forces. By the end of this chapter you will be able to answer the following essential questions:
1. What is work?
2. How do we make things move?
3. What forces cause things to move at a faster/slower rate?
4. What are Newton's Laws of Motion and how do they apply to the world around us?
Check out this link for information on the basics of force and motion. It provides explanations of the key ideas associated with force and motion as well as experiments that show a variety of ways of measuring position and time. These measurements lead to concepts of speed, velocity, momentum and acceleration.
