P1104 / Chapter 6: Circular Motion and Other Applications of Newton’s Laws - Part 1

In the preceding chapter, we introduced Newton’s laws of motion and incorporated them into two analysis models involving linear motion. Now we discuss motion that is slightly more complicated. For example, we shall apply Newton’s laws to objects traveling in circular paths. We shall also discuss motion observed from an accelerating frame of reference and motion of an object through a viscous medium. For the most part, this chapter consists of a series of examples selected to illustrate the application of Newton’s laws to a variety of new circumstances.
