1. Basics of problem solving with forces Part 1

2. What is a force? A push or a pull

3. What is the difference between mass and weight?

6. What is a normal force?

7. equilibrium

9. What is static friction?

12. What is a free body diagram?

13. How would you draw a FBD for an object in free fall with no air resistance?

15. How would you draw a FBD for an object in free fall with air resistance?

18. How would you draw a FBD for an object sitting on a desk being pushed but not moving?

21. How would you draw a FBD for an object on a tilted surface with no friction?

23. How would you draw a FBD for an object on a tilted surface with friction?

25. What is kinetic friction?

27.
