11.1.4: Newton's Laws

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

We have just finished our study of kinematics. In kinematics we did not care why an object was moving. We are now going to explain why objects move or do not move. We do so by using the concept of force. In this chapter we consider the basic techniques of free-body diagrams, the normal force, and the forces of weight and tension.
