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
