IMPORTANT:
You are also expected to be able to meet ALL of the mechanics
objectives for the Physics 1 course (SPH3U1).
By the end of this unit the student will be able to:
  calculate
the component of a vector along a specified axis, resolve a vector into
mutally perpendicular components add multiple vectors to find
the resultant vector subtract displacement vectors to calculate relative
position analyse the motion of a projectile:
given initial velocity, find the range, time of flight, maximum height, and
final velocity. solve problems involving relative motion or frames
of reference (like river crossing or airplanes with cross winds) draw free body diagrams use Newton's law of universal gravitaion to predict
motion of planets and satellites solve problems involving inclined planes, with and
without friction determine how much force is needed to overcome static
friction in various circumstances analyse situations of static equilibrium, where the
net force is zero  define torque, find the centre of gravity for combinations
of simple shapes solve statics problems involving torque solve problems involving ideal pulleys solve problems involving two bodies joined by an ideal
string solve problems uniform circular motion in both horizontal
and vertical planes
