Equations of motion
This resource covering equations of constant acceleration has been contributed to the mathcentre Community Project by Josh Simpson and reviewed by Leslie Fletcher, Liverpool John Moores University.
Forces acting at an angle - resolving forces
This leaflet explains how a force can be split into two perpendicular components.
Forces acting at an angle (with friction)
This leaflet introduces friction into the analysis of the effect of forces on bodies.
Parallel forces acting together
In this leaflet we consider the resultant force when several parallel forces act.
Particle on a slope (with friction)
This leaflet analyses particles on slopes in the presence of friction.
Particles on a slope
When resolving forces, the directions generally taken are horizontal and vertical.
However, there are situations when it is better to consider other directions for resolving.
This leaflet explains how this is done.
Types of Force
This leaflet explains the various types of force which are commonly found when studying the motion of physical bodies.
