Lecture 9: 

Newton’s laws of motion:

  • The first law
  • The second law: F=ma
    • Weight
    • F=F1+F2
  • The third law

 

Applications of F=ma

  • Elevator problems
  • Pushing two blocks (no friction case, with friction case)
  • String tension, pulley
  • Incline plane and decomposition of a force vector into || and ^ components.

 

Reminder:

  • Midterm 1 is at Wel 2.224, 7pm tonight. Be there by 6:50pm

 

Re-work midterm problems:

  • To encourage you to take another hard look at problems in the midterm01, after the exam  please download corresponding “reexam01” set, which is your midterm, except for a different version number. 
  • Treat reexam01 as a homework set. Work on the set and submit your answers to the TT-system.
  • To avoid the time-conflict with HW4, the due-time for reexam01 will be at 1am on Monday, 9/24 (or Sunday evening).
  • Your Midterm01-score and reexam01-score will not be posted until after the due time of the reexam01.
  • For those who have made 85% or more in the reexam01, extra credit will be earned in the TA session. (See your TA for details)
  • There will be no attendance-test for the week immediately after the midterm.
