Newton's Second Law Resource



      In this video titled "What in the World is Newton's Second Law of Motion," physics is applied to a very common sport, football. Taking place during the practice of a pre-season football team, Newton's Second Law of motion is applied to a football kicker.
      Some specific things in this video that were particularly helpful were that they had a mix of examples, explanations, and writing all about Newton's Second Law. There was a good use of pausing right as the kicker would kick the ball so that they could explain exactly what happens as he kicks it. The professor also explained very well that the acceleration will increase as a result of the force increasing, as long as the mass is constant.
