The minimum objectives
you must satisfy for this unit: You should be able to
I. Solve problems using
Newton's laws of motion
-
identify, define, and
distinguish between contact forces and field forces
-
state and explain with
examples Newton's first law of motion
-
distiguish between
mass, weight, and inertia
-
state and explain with
examples Newton's second law of motion
-
draw free-body diagrams
for objects on a flat surface when provided
with a description of a physical situation involving several contact
and/or field forces (note: at this time we only have one field force, gravity!)
-
use a free-body diagram
to write appropriate component equations
-
write x and y components
for each free-body force
-
include ONLY contact
and field forces ON the object in question
-
include ALL of
the contact and field forces on the object in question
-
state the unit of force
and the corresponding common unit cluster in the SI
system of units
-
state and explain with
examples Newton's third law of motion
-
state and explain with
examples the concepts of static and kinetic friction
-
apply f = mN
to solve problems in dynamics
-
apply the skills of
chapters one, two, three and four to solve problems in dynamics
-
vector addition
-
big five in one
and two dimensions
-
big five + one
+ friction in one dimension
