Forces & Newton's Laws

Forces & Newton’s Laws 

F1   identify standard contact forces:  weight, normal, friction, applied, tension, buoyancy, spring

F2   construct a free-body diagram to show forces acting on an object

F3   identify when the forces must be unbalanced for an object based on its motion 

F4   use Newton’s 1st law to quantitatively determine the forces acting on an object moving at a constant velocity

F5   recognize/apply Newton’s 1st law to different situations
