FORCE
A FORCE IS A PUSH OR A PULL. IF FORCES ARE POWERFUL ENOUGH, THEY MAY RESULT IN MOTION. What is a force?
IF THE NET FORCE ACTING ON AN OBJECT IS ZERO, THE OBJECT REMAINS AT REST, OR IF IT IS ALREADY MOVING, IT REMAINS MOVING. Newton’s first law of motion
STATIC FRICTION - OCCURS WHEN AN OBJECT IS AT REST SLIDING FRICTION - WHEN AN OBJECT IS SLIDING ACROSS A SURFACE ROLLING FRICTION - WHEN AN OBJECT IS ROLLING ACROSS A SURFACE. Three Types of Friction
THE SECOND LAW STATES THAT THE FORCE ON AN OBJECT IS EQUAL TO THE OBJECT'S MASS TIMES IT ACCELERATION: F = MA Newton’s second law
NEWTON'S 3RD LAW STATES THAT FORCES ALWAYS ACT IN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE PAIRS. WHEN ONE OBJECT EXERTS A FORCE ON A SECOND OBJECT, THE SECOND OBJECT ALSO EXERTS A FORCE ON THE FIRST. Newton’s third law of motion
1ST LAW: INERTIA LARGE BOULDER, HARD TO START MOVING, HARD TO STOP MOVING 2ND LAW: FORCE APPLIED TO AN OBJECTWILL ACCELERATE THE OBJECT --SMALL OBJECT ACCELERATES RAPIDLY,LARGE OBJECT ACCELERATES SLOWLY. 3RD LAW: EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTIONS ROCKET, SKATEBOARD Examples of Newton’s laws
MASS IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF MATTER IN AN OBJECT. WEIGHT IS THE MEASURE OF THE ATTRACTION OF GRAVITY TO AN OBJECT. What is the difference between mass and weight?
