Newton's Second Law states that force equals mass times acceleration. This can be investigated using a set-up like this one. You can use this set-up to investigate how changing two separate factors, ...

Researchers have found a significant new relationship in spiral and irregular galaxies: the acceleration observed in rotation curves tightly correlates with the gravitational acceleration expected ...

The $200-million Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF) grant awarded to the University of Toronto’s Acceleration Consortium will help build a world-leading centre for accelerated materials ...

Speaker one We’ve been using Sir Isaac Newton’s theories for hundreds of years and still use his equations today. Now, how can we test Newton’s second law using equipment found in our laboratory?

The Science Geeks challenge your knowledge of acceleration in this fiendishly challenging worksheet! After getting you up to speed gently, the questions increase in difficulty. The worksheet comes as ...
