Rough Around The Edges: Comparing Friction Forces

Rough Around The Edges: Comparing Friction Forces

In this lab, Gio and MJ demonstrate friction forces on various surfaces.

2D Forces and Vector Components

2D Forces and Vector Components

In this video you will learn about two-dimensional forces and two dimensional vectors in general. Most objects in our universe move in two dimensions and to analyze other quantities about them, you may need to analyze the forces that act on them in their individual dimensions. Two Dimensional forces also cause Normal Forces to act differently upon objects. Join Mr. Mickens and a couple of special guests as we learn about the advanced physics topic. THERE'S A VIDEO GUIDE FOR THIS: Difference between 1D and 2D Forces Vector Components Solve for the X component Using Components in Newton's 2nd Law Solving for the Normal Force

Projectile Motion: Shoot Your Shot!

Projectile Motion: Shoot Your Shot!

In this video you will be introduced to the basics of Two dimensional motion while trying to design a solution to catch a ball with Mr. Mickens. The fundamentals of motion take a new turn in this complex yet riveting topic of projectile motion.
