“If object A exerts a force on object B, then object
B exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in
direction on A”

n

- normal force : n is perpendicular to the surfaces
in contact

- friction : f is parallel to the surface
Demo
Ex: Two blocks are connected over a frictionless pulley.
What is the acceleration of the system given no friction.
m1=2kg
m2=1kg
Demo
Ex: A block is moving down a ramp that makes an angle θ
with the horizontal. What is the acceleration of the
system given that there is friction.
θ
QQ38: Inequality
Example:
A horizontal force of 150 N is applied to a 50 kg
box on a level floor. The coefficient of static
friction between the box and the floor is 0.5. What
magnitude of the frictional force on the box.

look over all the lecture notes
write down ‘key concepts’ that you think are important
be able to use x-t, v-t, a-t graphs
understand normal forces (ramps, level)
be able to find acceleration for simple systems
free body diagrams
look over projectile motion
don’t worry about any long derivations we did in
class!
