In both high school physics and general college physics, Free Body (Force) Diagrams are critical in understanding how forces act upon objects that are on an incline. On a flat horizontal surface, such diagrams are pretty straightforward showing that: Gravity…
Kinematics, the study of motion, is one of the more grueling units in any physics course. Often, the curriculum starts out fairly straight forward distinguishing between: Definition Examples Scalar quantities Measurements/values that are never negative Driving 5 miles Distance Speed…
If there’s one topic in Physics that every student generally learns and retains for life, it’s Newton’s 2nd Law: The relationship between an object’s mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and…
