In this video we're going to learn all about normal forces. What is a normal force and what does the word "normal" actually mean? We'll learn how a normal force can change due to the other forces acting on an object. We'll also cover how to draw a normal force in a free body diagram. At the end, we'll walk through 3 example problems that involve normal forces.
