Glossary for Dynamics: Force and Newton's Laws of Motion

This text highlights key terms important for the study of development of force concept; Newton's first law of motion: inertia; Newton's second law of motion: concept of a system; Newton's third law of motion: symmetry in forces; normal, tension, & other examples of force; problem-solving strategies; further applications of Newton's laws of motion; and extended topic: the four basic forces—an introduction.
