Upon successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

  • compare and contrast mass and inertia;
  • determine the net force on an object;
  • draw and interpret free-body diagrams representing the forces on an object;
  • identify the correct use of normal and tension forces in terms of Newton's Third Law of Motion;
  • use Newton's Second Law of Motion to analyze dynamic problems;
  • apply Newton's Law of Gravity; and
  • give examples of the effects of friction on the motion of an object.
