Re: [Phys-l] Newton's First law Demo

[Emma Smith <esphysics@gmail.com>]

Doubts or not I think this thread emphasizes the need to pedagogically step
back and ensure we emphasize any motion involves all laws of motion and we
sometimes do our students a disservice my identifying motion demos as this
is an example of Newton's first law or second law or third law etc.

I will end my run on sentence there and go back to lurking.

Thanks for all you've taught me through my lurking on this listserv,
Emma
