Practice Problem: Comparing Gravitational Forces
Gravity is mysterious, isn't it? If all matter exerts gravity, why don't we all just drift towards each other all the time? Well, as you know, it depends on the masses of the two objects and the distance between them. Your friend says...

Practice Problem: Box Sliding Down a Ramp
Lisa, are you serious? Alright, just one more favor. This one is a little trickier than the previous, because there is some trigonometry involved, beyond the kinematics and friction from the previous problems. What will become of your...

Practice Problem: Pushing Boxes
Your friend Lisa needs some help moving, but how long will it take? You're so hungry! Just do a little work with kinematics and Newton's laws, and then it'll be time for tacos.
Professor Dave Explains
Practice Problem: One-Dimensional Two-Body Problem
Lisa is moving again already! I dunno, I think there were bedbugs. This time you have a different plan, but you will still need kinematics and Newton's laws to find out how much time and effort stand between you and more snacks. Give it...
