Hello! RP2 will be about forces and their interactions! We will be drawing heavily from our knowledge from RP1 on vectors.

Essential Understandings:
Forces explain the interactions between objects which cause a change in motion in one or both of the interacting objects. Newton's laws of motion explain the effects of forces on an object's motion for almost all objects at the macroscopic level. Any discrepancies to these laws are most likely due to the neglect of another force.
A stable system is one in which the internal and external forces are such that any small change results in forces that return the system to its prior state. A system can be static (unmoving) but unstable, with any small change leading to forces that tend to increase the change. A system can be changing but have stable repeating cycles of change.
