Newton's Second Law: Atwood Machine

This product is part of a series entitled Newton’s Second Law: Acceleration. The series contains the following products:

Newton’s Second Law: Free Body Diagrams
Newton’s Second Law: Acceleration Horizontal
Newton’s Second Law: Mass on an Inclined Plane
Newton’s Second Law: Two Masses, a Table and a Pulley
Newton’s Second Law: Atwood Machine (Elevator)

Each can be used on its own as a stand-alone assignment, but taken together they make an excellent unit covering the essential problem solving skills for analysing the motion of objects using Newton’s second law of motion.

This product contains guided notes that can be used when introducing this topic, two exercises for your students to practice these important problem solving skills, answer keys for the exercises and a presentation for use during instruction.

At the top of each set of exercises there is a link to videos from my Step by Step Science YouTube channel. The videos provide detailed descriptions and additional examples that correspond to the problems on the exercise sheets. This is a great resource for distance learners or students who are not able to be in class for the lesson. All exercises and presentations are provided in PDF and fully editable formats.
