Use the fact that the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity on the Earth’s surface is nearly constant and approximately 9.8 m/s2 in free-fall problems
Apply Newton’s 1st law to obtain quantitative and qualitative conclusions about the contact and noncontact forces acting on a body in equilibrium (1 lecture)
Apply Newton’s 2nd law and kinematics to obtain quantitative and qualitative conclusions about the velocity and acceleration of one or more bodies, and the contact and noncontact forces acting on one or more bodies
