What is a Particle and how is it used in calculations?
M: Dimension of object are negligible
H: Air resistance can be ignored and dimensions can be ignored
What is smooth and how can it be used?
No friction and and frictional forces can be ignored
What is light?
Has no mass and mass can be ignored
What is light string?
String has no mass and tension is equal throughout string
what is inextensible string?
String cannot stretch and and acceleration of two particles is equal
What is a smooth pulley?
There is no friction at the pulley and the tension on either side is equal
if g=9.8?
Use a more accurate value of g
If constant resistance?
Have resistance vary with speed
If particle?
Consider dimensions of body and take spin of body in to account
If smooth?
Take friction into account
If light?
Take mass into account
