After learning about Newton's second law we expect you to be able to:
  • Identify the “best” system to analyse
  • Sum all of the forces acting on a system.
  • Relate the net force on a system to the acceleration of that system.
  • Connect the motion of an object (kinimatics) with the forces acting on the object
  • Understand how to find components of vectors
  • Understand vector decomposition
  • Acceleration is not a froce
  • An object accelerates only when an outside force is applied
