Resistance and Newton’s first law
Less drag → motion lasts longer → inertia / Newton I. This “Resistance and Newton’s first law” page is an MVP interactive sketch — formulas, controls, and live readouts in the browser; a fuller bench may follow.
Less drag → motion lasts longer → inertia / Newton I.
Key formulas
\sum F=0\Rightarrow v=\mathrm{const}
How to use
- Adjust parameters in the left panel.
- Use play / pause and speed controls.
- Match right-side readouts to the formulas.
- Reset to return to the initial state.
Applications
- Resistance and Newton’s first law: Less drag → motion lasts longer → inertia / Newton I.
- Classroom focus: inertia and Newton’s first law.
FAQ
What does MVP mean on this page?
An interactive sketch with formulas and parameters. Polished Ready labs are the full bench experience.
What does the “Resistance and Newton’s first law” lab practice?
Tune parameters and match readouts to the “Resistance and Newton’s first law” relations — useful for prep and demos.
How do I connect meters?
Ammeter in series; voltmeter in parallel — watch polarity and range.
When does Ohm’s law apply?
For ohmic conductors I=U/R; nonlinear devices need their own curves.
