Chapter 4 Force Models

We will now build quantitative models for the most common forces.
Learning Outcomes
After successful completion of this chapter, you will be able to:
  1. Construct net force equations in multiple dimensions for an object based on its acceleration and its free-body diagram
  2. Solve net force equations symbolically in terms of given variables
  3. Include friction force acting between two objects at rest or in motion
