Figuring out the acceleration of ice down a plane made of ice.
The force that acts across the air gaps between magnets is the same force that creates wonders such as the Aurora Borealis. In fact, magnetic effects pervade our lives in myriad ways, from electric motors to medical imaging and computer memory. In this chapter, we introduce magnets and learn how they work and how magnetic fields and electric currents interact.
Introduction to magnetism: Wikipedia article that provides an overview of the concept.
An elaboration on how to use Newton's second law when dealing with multiple forces, forces in two dimensions, and diagonal forces.
An elaboration on some of the common misconceptions in dealing with Newton's Third Law. He also shows how to correctly and reliably identify Third Law force pairs.
Basic primer on Newton's First Law of motion.
