In this unit you will learn:

• About the turning effect of forces
• Turning effects are called moments
• Understand that regular and irregular shaped objects have a centre of gravity
• An objects centre of gravity determines if it is in a stable, neutral, or unstable equilibrium

How to solve for the horizontal displacement when the projectile starts with a horizontal initial velocity. We also explain common mistakes people make when doing horizontally launched projectile problems.

• Predict, qualitatively, how an external force will affect the speed and direction of an object's motion.
• Explain the effects with the help of a free body diagram.
• Use free body diagrams to draw position, velocity, acceleration and force graphs and vice versa.
• Explain how the graphs relate to one another.
• Given a scenario or a graph, sketch all four graphs.
