Hints

Sometimes Mr.Gibbons drops hints before the unit test and I am going to write them here so I can review them the night before

  • Graphical vectors will be on the test, although there’s some leeway
  • On Vector Components and Static Equilibrium lab Figure A is going to be on the test
    • Which force is balancing in the vertical direction
    • if F1 ≠ F2 then you’re doing something wrong
    • F1y = F1 sin
    • F1x = F1 cos
    • F1y + F2y = W
    • y = sin
    • x = cos
  • #4 and #5 are on the test on the vectors worksheet
  • Static Equilibrium #1 on the test
  • Instead of weight holding it down a balloon is pulling it up
