- Being able to express the link between this movement and the actions that cause it, putting a problem into equations and solving it in the usual simple cases.
- Know certain types of basic or commonly encountered forces: electromagnetic and gravitational forces, fluid or solid friction forces, elastic spring booster force, wire tension.
