Good luck in studying for your test. Practice, practice practice the problems, but don’t forget the conceptual stuff. If you get a chance, watch the Julius Sumner Miller videos on Newton’s laws in the Vodpod below, or look them up on You Tube. I think they’ll help a lot with the conceptual information. Help session in the morning at 7:15 A.M., if you need extra help. I’ll be praying for you!

And how does equilibrium relate to Newton’s first law? And what if you don’t have balanced forces. Aaahhh, net forces produce what?

A couple of things that work for me – draw them first. Then go back through and separate resultants into components. If an object is in equilibrium, then there are no net forces – all the forces in the x direction balance – everything left equals everything right, and all the forces up equal all the forces down. Capisce?

Here’s the lecture from Friday on net force, equilibrium, and equilibrants. Oh – and just a touch of the rest of Newton’s first law. Were you having a little déjà vu? :)

You’re doing a great job with them!
