1/25 - Newtons Second Law of Motion and Free Body Diagrams

Today you received the Newtons Law homework. We also changed the due date on the homework from Friday, to Monday. So, the homework is due on Monday, January 30.

Then we started talking about force, and how to draw free body diagrams. We drew a number of free body diagrams and spoke about what they meant. Then, we learned Newton's Second Law of Motion (F = m*a) and worked together on a number of problems involving this law of motion. Be sure to practice these problems so that you are good at them by the time we have our test.
