Looking at Forces from a New Angle (Orange: 11/9 Black: 11/10)

I checked and went over the homework.  There will be a quiz on WS 3 during the next block, so be sure to check your answers here.  I also gave the quiz on WS 2.

Many forces that we encounter on a daily basis act on the object at an angle.  For example, pushing a broom or pulling a wagon.  Therefore, we need to understand basic trigonometry functions and how to resolve forces into their components.  We discussed this in class and did a few practice problems.

HW:  WS 4, quiz on WS 3
