[2.6] Dynamics of Particles

• FREE BODY DIAGRAM


  A simplified illustration of the chosen body by itself.
• LAW OF ACCELERATION

  Bodies are not in equilibrium, which means it is accelerating.
• DYNAMICS OF PARTICLES

  The magnitude of the acceleration depends on the size of the net force and the object's mass.
• DYNAMICS OF PARTICLES

  The direction of the acceleration is the same with the direction of the net force.
• DYNAMICS OF PARTICLES

  The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
• What is the SI unit of force?

  Newtons (N)
