Part 1 - Dynamics 1 Define mass and inertia and explain the meaning of Newton's 1st Law. 2 Define a force and distinguish between contact forces and field forces.3 Draw and label a free body diagram showing all forces acting on an object. 4 Determine the resultant of two or more vectors graphically and algebraically. 6 Resolve a vector into perpendicular components: both graphically and algebraically. 7 Use vector diagrams to analyze mechanical systems (equilibrium and non-equilibrium + balanced and unbalanced). 8 Verify Newton's Second Law for linear motion. 9 Describe how mass and weight are related. 10 Define friction and distinguish between static and kinetic friction. 11 Determine the coefficient of friction for two surfaces.
