Forces and Newtons laws
Newtons Laws
Newton's 1st Law
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This is only if the forces are balanced
State of motion
State of motion is determined by the velocity. An object with an velocity of 0m/s has an acceleration of 0m/s/s
-
Newton's 2nd Law
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Acceleration and Forces
Acceleration
Yes
Net force greater than 0 means acceleration
-
-
ContactForces
Applied force
-
Air resistance force
A type of force that acts upon an object as it travels through the air. The larger the object the more air resistance applied to the object
Normal force
-
Friction force
Static friction
Static friction is the friction experienced when trying to move an object from rest. The most common use for static friction is to see if there is enough force to move an object from rest.
-
Kinetic friction
Kinetic friction is the friction experienced when an object if moving. This is a lesser value than static friction
-
-
Coefficient of friction
The coefficient of friction is a number the is the force between two objects. This number varies depending of the surfaces of the objects. The greater value of mu means more friction and lesser value of mu means less friction.

Free Body Diagrams
A free body diagram is a vector diagram used to show all of the force acting on a object at a point in time.

Common misconceptions
Mass vs weight

-
FBD
-
If the FBD's are balanced the the object is not accereation but still can be moving at a constant speed
