Re: A FIRST Encouter with Physics

This is super cool!

It might be worth mentioning that stalled means that the output shaft is not spinning. It is often the little stuff that trips us up.

It is also a little confusing to have the diagram about the CIM in the middle of an example problem using the FP. Why not use the same motor in 2.1 and 2.2?

Other than those minor nitpicks, it's much more readable than the physics textbooks I put up with in Physics I!
