Unit 6 Blog Post

Unit 6 so far has been very similar to unit 5. We are doing the same type of problems involving force diagrams. We are now more closely focusing on problems that have rope tension. We have to find the tension of the rope using fnet equations. A new type of situation that problems have set up are elevators. They will tell you about a person inside and change the acceleration of an elevator downwards or upwards and make you find the force the floor of the elevator exerts on a person inside. We also talked more about Newton's second and third law. Mr. Blake went more in depth on newton's third law, he talked about how when an object hits or touches another object, that other objects touched the original object with the same force in the opposite direction.

In this picture, my friend Jake just fell down the stairs. When his butt hit the stairs, the stairs returned the same amount of force but in the opposite direction. Sucks for Jake.
