infoWhy this? Applying force models to connected particles and other systems shows how simple laws combine in more complex situations. Further kinematics deepens students’ ability to model motion when quantities vary together or constraints link objects.

scheduleWhy now? It sits after friction, moments and vector work because students now have enough techniques to coordinate several mechanics ideas at once. Applications of forces sits after friction, moments and vector work because students now have enough techniques to coordinate several mechanics ideas at once. This comes late because it relies on secure calculus and force models from the earlier mechanics sequence.
