Dynamics of a Particle in a Straight Line

Newton's Laws of MotionSign up

understand and apply Newton's first, second and third laws of motion to particles moving in one dimension, including using F = ma · be able to draw force diagrams and write equations of motion for particles experiencing weight, normal reaction, tension, thrust and friction

FrictionSign up

understand the model of friction and use F ≤ μR for a rough contact, recognising that at the point of slipping F = μR

Connected ParticlesSign up

be able to apply Newton's laws to systems of connected particles, including particles linked by a light inextensible string passing over a smooth pulley
