Document Summary
Everything in the course will be 2 dimensional. Acceleration is a parameter which describes the motion. Net force = mass x acceleration also known as equation of motion. Then, vector addition of both force components for fnet. Zinke is holding two strings, one pink one white, each attached to a weight. Pink string is also attached to a cart on the air track but the white string isn"t. When he releases the strings the weight attached to the pink string accelerates down slowly and and the weight attached to the white strong goes faster. Therefore acceleration is not always the same (wow no way) Zinke might gave you the axes in an image and then you have to work with it. Every force that is parallel to the x- or y-axis needs to be broken down into vertical and horizontal components. Mass is not needed to find acceleration from force: Lecture questions: baseball"s acceleration at highest altitude:
