Re: Force Calculations

Hi;

That is a really nice lesson. Using it for my notes. When you got down to the pulling the box example I started to freeze up a bit. Vectors and polar coordinates in the same problem! I began to shiver and shake, I was back in school... I used Geogebra to finish the calculation.

Despite my anxiety, I like the page alot, thanks.

Re: Force Calculations

Hi MathsIsFun,

The best part of this page : The calculations and parameters are in an understandable manner.

I hope Momentum, Impulse, Moment of inertia etc. are also added on the page.
