Lumenary Prep

Kinematics, Newton's laws and non-inertial frames

This lesson is part of the full course.

In it you will learn to:

  • Solve constant-acceleration and projectile problems in seconds using the standard results and symmetry
  • Draw free-body diagrams for the classic setups (inclines, Atwood machines, stacked blocks, curves) and read off accelerations and tensions
  • Handle linear and quadratic drag, including terminal speed and its scaling with size
  • Work in accelerating and rotating frames with the right fictitious forces, including the direction of the Coriolis force
