Apply Newton's three laws of motion, resolve 2D forces, and model particle equilibrium and acceleration in a plane.
[Understand the concept of a force; understand and use Newton’s first law]
[Understand and use Newton’s third law; equilibrium of forces on a particle and motion in a straight line (restricted to forces in two perpendicular directions or simple cases of forces given as 2-D vectors); application to problems involving smooth pulleys and connected particles]; resolving forces in 2 dimensions; equilibrium of a particle under coplanar forces
