Unit 6






Today we expanded more on Newton's second law which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the netforce of an object while the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the objects mass.  I took a picture of our note packet that we did today and more specifically the picture of the man in the elevator.  This example matches perfectly with newtons second law and forces with motion.  In this specific example the elevator is moving up at a constant velocity.  The force diagram with include Normal Force for the man and the diagram for the elevator will have tension because it is hanging and being pulled up on a string.  The force diagram with the man contains normal force because he is standing on a flat solid surface.  There are many objects that have to do with Newton's second law so it is important to understand.

  1. Good Job! I like how you explained the different forces and Newtons second law. Very clear and concise.
