The resource "Newton's 3 Law's of Motion" is included in the Physics Fundamentals topic of the EICC Engineering Techology Simulations resource series. This series is segment of a Department of Labor grant awarded to the Eastern Iowa Community Colleges (EICC) of Clinton, Muscatine, and Scott.
Basic primer on Newton's First Law of Motion
A little quiz on some of the ideas in Newton's first law
The video resource "Newton's Laws: Crash Course Physics #5" is included in the "Sociology" course from the resources series of "Crash Course". Crash Course is a educational video series from John and Hank Green.
What color is white light? Want to know how to make it?
Paul Andersen explains how Newton's Second Law applies when a net force acts on a body. The net force vector and the acceleration vector will act in the same direction. If an object acts on another object in a system the center of mass of the system will experience no acceleration.
Newton's Second Law of Motion: F=ma
Paul Andersen explains how Newton's Third Law applies to all objects. When an object applies a force to another object (Action) and equal and opposite force (Reaction) is applied to the original object. Several scenarios are described to show these action-reaction pairs.
This NASA video segment explores how Newton's third law of motion applies to aerospace. An instructor at NASA's National Test Pilot School defines the third law and explains how a jet engine works to move an aircraft forward. There is also a discussion about the four forces involved in flying an aircraft. This resource, "Newtons Third Law Video" is included in Lesson 4 Newton's Third Law Applied which is a part of Unit 04 Newton's Laws and Aerospace Application included in ASA - Course 1 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Mr. Andersen defines Newton's three laws of motion. He describes how the first law relates to inertia, how the second law relates to mass and acceleration, and how the third law allows a rocket to launch.

The force that keeps a block of ice from falling towards the center of the earth
How the normal force changes when an elevator accelerates
Whether the normal force balances the force of gravity for a frozen sock or banana
Students expand upon their understanding of simple machines with an introduction to compound machines. A compound machine a combination of two or more simple machines can affect work more than its individual components. Engineers who design compound machines aim to benefit society by lessening the amount of work that people exert for even common household tasks. This lesson encourages students to critically think about machine inventions and their role in our lives.
Nuclear Energy Explained: How does it work? Nuclear Energy is a controversial subject. The pro- and anti-nuclear lobbies fight furiously, and it's difficult to decide who is right. So we're trying to clear up the issue - in this video we discuss how we got to where we are today, as the basis for discussion. Next week we'll be looking at the arguments for and against nuclear power in detail. The video "Nuclear Energy Explained: How does it work? 1/3" is a resource included in the Physics topic made available from the Kurzgesagt open educational resource series.
Students learn about nuclear energy generation through a nuclear power plant virtual field trip that includes visiting four websites and watching a short video taken inside a nuclear power plant. They are guided by a handout that provides the URLs and questions to answer from their readings. They conclude with a class discussion to share their findings and reflections. It is recommended that students complete the associated activity, Chernobyl Empathy, before conducting this lesson; doing this assists students in gaining an understanding of how devastating nuclear meltdowns can be, which underscores the importance of careful engineering.
