Net Force

Intro Physics worked on a series of problems concerning force, net force, acceleration and kinematics. These problems were a step above the standard one-step F = ma offerings in the book and folks worked cooperatively to come up with strategies to attack the problems and find the solution. We'll work on these more tomorrow, so if there were items that gave you trouble, you'll have more time to work in class.

Physics D, F and E spent more time on free-body diagrams and net force. We move through progressively harder situations, seeking to calculate the net force acting on an object and most folks are at the point of working with objects on inclines. We'll tie up a few loose ends tomorrow and then begin to see how that net force impacts an object's motion, as we take on Newton's first and second laws of motion.
