Resultant Forces and Momentum
What you need to know
Describe, with examples, the forces that act on an isolated system or solid object.
Use free body diagrams to describe examples in which several forces combine to give a resultant force on an object, including the special case of equilibrium, where the forces are balanced and the resultant force is zero (qualitative only).
Illustrate the resolution of two or more forces using vector diagrams drawn to scale, both when there is a net force and in equilibrium (only for parallel and perpendicular vectors).
Recall and apply the momentum equation, and describe examples of collisions in which momentum is conserved:
