Law on a wall
Hi. I’m continuing to make progress on the development of my video on Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Below is an image taken from the beginning of the video. The law introduces the...

3..2..1…We have liftoff
I have just completed the animation of my rocket “mac 1” during liftoff. You can see the rocket as it lifts off the launch pad in the image below. The animation uses the Blender smoke...
How do you like my rocket?
Hi I have been modelling the rocket to be used in my video on Newton’s third law of motion. Here it is being prepared for launch and here is a close-up view....
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Hi, I have now started developing the next video in the series of Professor Mac explains Newton’s Laws of Motion. Many viewers of my videos on YouTube, and readers of this website,...
Playing with springs is all in a day’s work
Hi. Here is an image from my new video, which I’m currently developing, which explains the use of a spring balance to measure force. You can see from the image that the...
Working on a spring balance
Hi. I’m currently working on my next video which will explain how a spring balance measures force. I will be discussing Hooke’s law as well as elasticity and demonstrate how to create...
What a big block!
I am using different sizes of block to show the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. This is the latest screen shot from the video on Newton’s second law of motion. Mac
Pulling blocks is all in a day’s work
Here are some screen shots of me accelerating a block along a frictionless surface to demonstrate how forces accelerate objects. The coloured blocks are snap-shots of the position of the wooden block at one second...
