- i. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net force from a force diagram
- j. Apply Newton's three laws of motion to various scenarios
Question
Write down your answer to the following question:
Mahaila pushes a book to the left across a flat, horizontal surface. The following questions refer to the time period when the book is moving, but is no longer touching her hand.
- Draw a force diagram
- Use a double arrow to indicate the magnitude and direction of the net force (next to, but not part of the force diagram)
- What is the acceleration of the book
