The Main Idea[edit]
Objects that have inertia will not change the path or speed of motion unless the object is acted on by a force from something else.
A Mathematical Model[edit]
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example dp⃗ dtsystem=F⃗ net where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
A Computational Model[edit] How do we visualize or predict using this topic. Consider embedding some vpython code here Teach hands-on with GlowScript
Examples[edit] Be sure to show all steps in your solution and include diagrams whenever possible
Simple[edit] Middling[edit] Difficult[edit] Connectedness[edit] How is this topic connected to something that you are interested in? How is it connected to your major? Is there an interesting industrial application? History[edit] Put this idea in historical context. Give the reader the Who, What, When, Where, and Why.
See also[edit] Are there related topics or categories in this wiki resource for the curious reader to explore? How does this topic fit into that context?
