Calculating Force: ESEPSY BLOG

The main fundamental equation that is the base for all of physics is Force = Mass * Acceleration. This video describes each of the parts of the equation, force, mass and acceleration and provides examples for it. They will also show you a trick of how to memorize the equation using a “triangle”. Force is a push or pull in a direction that is directly proportional to the amount of mass or acceleration. Mass is how heavy an object is and acceleration is the change of speed over time.

 

This video enhances learning for this topic because, its one thing for me to describe what i’m trying to teach like in my paragraph above. However once you actually see visually how mass and acceleration equal force it becomes a lot more clear and easy to understand. This also supplements the learning because you can visually see the “triangle” to better help you memorize the equation for force.
