Doggies on a waxed floor

Where will you use it: inertia, friction, centripetal force? I don't think students will mind if you use it for all of those.

Can you stretch it into conservation laws? Of course you can! Low stopping force requires longer stopping time. Impulse/momentum: check. That wee force will need to act across a large distance to change the kinetic energy of those goggies! Work-energy: check.

Want to take it a step further? How did those doggos get up to speed to begin with? Hmmm...

And fear not: it all ends well.

Hat tip to Wendy A. (Rio Phyz ’88). Old physics teacher flex? Why, yes!
