Newton's 2nd Law with Vectors

Today we learned more about Newton's 2nd law dealing with vectors but first we had a discussion about smoking. Garrison said that all the cool kids smoke but Mr. Banow disagreed. Mr. Banow said that smoking is a bad habit and that drinking a glass of water would be much better.

Anyway we learned how to find the applied force on an object when the motion of the applied force was up and forward as so:




In order to find the applied force we first needed to find the x component of the vector by making sure we take the friction into consideration. Once we found the x component using the $Fnet=ma$ formula, where Fnet is the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration, we then used the angle given in the equation and the x component of the vector to find the value of the applied force vector.

This connected back to what we were doing in the vectors unit. We had to find the components of the vector to find the resultant vector, just like we did today.
