Chapter 3 Notes: Part c
Newton’s 2 nd Law Revisited Force = Mass X Acceleration
Mass vs Weight Mass is a property Weight changes g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s 2 ) F = mg
Friction Revisited Forces resulting from relative motion between objects Work against movement Wear results from grinding of moving parts
Types of Friction Air Friction/Resistance Sliding Friction Rolling Friction Viscous Friction – friction within a liquid –Viscosity = resistance to flow
Newton’s 3 rd Law For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction Also known as recoil

Momentum Momentum = mass X velocity P = mv Momentum Units: kgm/s Conservation of Momentum – As long as objects are not acted upon by outside forces (like friction), the total momentum won’t change –Newton’s Cradle –Collision Cars
