Force and Motion
Objectives
|
Upon completion of this chapter, you should be able to:
- relate force and motion and explain what is meant by a net or unbalanced force.
- state and explain Newton's first law of motion and describe inertia and its relationship to mass.
- state and explain Newton's second law of motion, apply it to physical situations, and distinguish between weight and mass.
- state and explain Newton's third law of motion and identify action-reaction force pairs.
- apply Newton's second law in analyzing various situations, use free-body diagrams, and understand the concept of translational equilibrium.
- explain the causes of friction and how friction is described by using coefficients of friction.
