Physics Unit 4 - Linear Dynamics
High School, College, and AP Physics 1
Yet another foundation topic for physics, linear dynamics covers the principal factors which effect motion and changes for motion. Dynamics is found throughout all of physics and will be revisited throughout many future units. It is very important students focus on this unit and take the time to truly understand the content.
This unit focuses on forces and newton's laws. We spend time not only understanding these topics but unraveling some of the many misconceptions we have dealing with motion.
Some of the topics covered in this unit:
- Inertia
- Forces
- Newtons 1st Law of Motion - The Law of Inertia
- Newtons 2nd Law of Motion - The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration
- Newtons 3rd Law of Motion - Action and Reaction Forces
- The force normal and support forces.
- Friction forces and coefficients of friction
- Motion down an inclined plane
- Atwood Machines with multiple arrangements
This course also includes a massive workbook with tons of questions and solutions. There are also many review videos going over examples and solutions as well!
