Newton's 2nd Law: Advanced Examples

  • Tension in a rope pulls throughout the rope. With some clever thought, we can use this fact to our advantage.
  • By setting up multiple pulleys, we can cause the same tension to be applied multiple times, effectively multiplying our input force.
  • Why isn't this crazy talk? We'll see why in the lesson on Power when we work on Energy.
  • Making a good free-body diagram to show where all the forces are is incredibly important! Without it, we won't be able to make sense of the problem.
  • Remember, if an object is experiencing an acceleration, it must have a force acting on it.
