Unit 6 Part 1

Unit 6 so far has been a continuation of what we learned at the end of unit 5. We're currently continuing the topics of forces and force diagrams with the equation "Fnet = ma" which means that the total amount of force is equal to the acceleration of the object multiplied by the mass. If given an example such as an elevator with a person inside of it moving at a constant rate, the floor of the elevator would be pushing up with the same force as your weight. This lesson, we learned about objects accelerating and therefore changing the value of the net force. This topic so far has been a little difficult because making the force diagrams confuses me a lot, but its getting easier as I practice the concept more.
