Newton`s Laws of Motion - Tamalpais Union High School District
... Inertial vs. gravitational mass has been tested very precisely and shown to be equal. This explains why all objects freefall at the same rate of acceleration. To calculate weight, g is not the acceleration due to gravity; it is the gravitational field strength. g = 9.8 newtons/kilogram. ...

FORCE AND LAWS OF MOTION
... When two forces balances each other such force are called balanced forces. In this case the body does not move in any direction. When the two opposite forces acting on a body with different magnitudes, in this case the body would begin to move in the direction of greater force. Such forces are calle ...

... As the worker has been lowering the engine, as described in (a), it has been gaining speed. To slow the engine down, he adjusts the force he applies such that the engine has an acceleration with a magnitude of 0.5 m/s2. Find the new tension in the supporting cable (T1) and the tension in the positio ...

... A 2.00-kg frictionless block is attached to an ideal spring with force constant k = 315 N/m. initially the spring is neither stretched nor compressed, but the block is moving in the negative direction at 12.0 m/s, and undergoes a simple harmonic motion (SHM). Let’s characterize the SHM of the block. ...
