    How can I better understand Newton's laws with examples and explanations?

    The forums are not loading correctly for me, so it will not let me input equations, but the sum of the forces in the x direction are = to F0 - (coefficient of friction * normal force) = mass * acceleration. Then I have to solve that for acceleration.

    How can I better understand Newton's laws with examples and explanations?

    Okay, but I still have no idea where you get the equation from that. Could you upload a picture of what you did? Friction divided by normal is equal to the coefficient of friction right? Vertically you have normal - weight = 0 and horizontally you have the pushing force - the friction force...

    I don't know what a cross section diagram is. I don't know how you got that equation for number one. For number 2, there are four forces not three right? Normal, Weight, Force, and Friction.

    How can I better understand Newton's laws with examples and explanations?

    I don' know how to do that for number one. I also don't understand what your asking for number two. This is extremely frustrating. I don't have a clue where to look for this either.

    How can I better understand Newton's laws with examples and explanations?

    Thank you and my apologies! For the first problem, I understand that the ball is moving at a horizontal with uniformed circular motion, which is arad=V2/R. The Fnet=marad=mv2/R. The \sumFy=0 I think and \sumFx=marad? I'm not exactly sure about that or how to use the height depicted as y...

    How can I better understand Newton's laws with examples and explanations?

    I am having a very hard time understanding these two problems I have attached. I have read the chapter in our text over and over again, but do not see the correlation or how to exactly set the problems up. I recently had surgery on my writing hand and missed a large portion of this class, so I...
