  1. Newton's Laws: Forces and Motion. A force is a push or a pull. A force is a vector : it has a magnitude and a direction. Forces add like vectors, not like scalars. Example: Two forces, labeled. same magnitude. F1 and F2, are both acting on the same object. The forces have the.

  3. 4.5. Normal, Tension, and Other Examples of Forces. Define normal and tension forces. Apply Newton's laws of motion to solve problems involving a variety of forces. Use trigonometric identities to resolve weight into components. 4.6. Problem-Solving Strategies.

  4. Before Newton, everyone thought (incorrectly!): "Force causes motion." WRONG! (You can have motion without any force causing the motion. Example: glider on an air track.) After Newton, "Force causes changes in motion." RIGHT! DEFINITION: The WEIGHT of an object = the force of gravity on the object. W = mg Why?

    In this chapter, we study speed, velocity, and acceleration for motion in one-dimension. One dimensional motion is motion along a straight line, like the motion of a glider on an airtrack.

  7. P3: A proton moves along the x-axis according to the equation: x = 50t+10t2, where. x. is in. meters and. t. is in seconds. Calculate (a) the average velocity of the proton during the first 3s of. its motion.
