3 • Balanced/Unbalanced Force Particle Model

Here is webcast that might interest some of you! Its titled "The Building Blocks of the Universe" and is this Wed (11/7) at 6PM CST. Feel free to use this link to check it out!

Here is a working copy of our BUFPM Learning Log.

We introduce the idea of interactions between objects. We learn to draw representations of interactions by turning sketches into Force Diagrams.

Read text sections 2.1 and 2.2 and complete the "Force Diagram Homework" included below.
