Newton's Laws and Inclined Planes - Lecture 4

Yale University via YouTube

Overview

Explore Newton's laws and their applications in this comprehensive physics lecture. Delve into the intricacies of friction, both kinetic and static, and confront the challenges of inclined planes. Learn how to apply Newton's laws to solve specific problems involving objects in circular motion, including roller coasters and planetary orbits. Examine the use of pulleys and understand the interplay between friction and circular motion in real-world scenarios like roundabouts and loop-the-loop rides. Gain valuable insights into the fundamental principles of classical mechanics, with the caveat that these laws have limitations at relativistic speeds and atomic scales.
