Applications of Newton's Laws

Net force affects the motion, postion and/or shape of objects (some important and commonly used forces are friction, drag and deformation).

Thumbnail
Friction: Kinetic

If two systems are in contact and moving relative to one another, then the friction between them is called kinetic friction.

Thumbnail
Friction: Static

Static friction is a type of friction that occurs to resist motion when two objects are at rest against each other.

Thumbnail
Problem-Solving With Friction and Inclines

Combining motion on inclines with friction uses such concepts as equilibrium and contact force on an incline.

Thumbnail
Drag

The drag force is the resistive force felt by objects moving through fluids and is proportional to the square of the object's speed.

Thumbnail
Stress and Strain

The ratio of force to area $\frac{F}{A}$ is called stress and the ratio of change in length to length $\frac{\Delta L}{L}$ is called the strain.

Thumbnail
Translational Equilibrium

An object is said to be in equilibrium when there is no external net force acting on it.

Thumbnail
Connected Objects

Forces can be transferred from one object to another through connections.

Thumbnail
Circular Motion

An object in circular motion undergoes acceleration due to centripetal force in the direction of the center of rotation.
