- 5th/6th
- Calculating weight on Earth and Moon, etc.
- Balanced and unbalanced forces, resistive forces, net force and equilibrium
- Example: A 3200 kg truck undergoes acceleration from an 6000 N force from the engine. What is its acceleration rate? How much time to accelerate to 29 m/s (about 65 mph)? What about if it has 1000 kg of cargo aboard? What if 250 N of friction exists?
- A 43 kg boy pushes horizontally on the ground with a force of 82 N. A frictional force of 3 N exists. What is the boy's acceleration rate?
- Equilibrium with the bird on a wire problem
- *More examples of balanced and unbalanced force problems

- Friction on an inclined plane
- A 15 kg crate resting on a 35° ramp has a static coefficient of friction of 0.40 and a kinetic coefficient of friction of 0.35. Calculate:
- Minimum force to keep it from moving
- Force needed to move it up the ramp at constant speed
- Force needed to move it down the ramp at constant speed
- What if we want to move it 2.2 m up the ramp in 4.5 s?
