In many textbook problems, we ignore certain complications such as friction and drag. The problems contain key words that indicate such a simplification is being used. For example, if a surface is described as slippery, it means that we can ignore friction. Look at the previous chapters problem sets. Find five uses of these key words and explain how to interpret each case.
