Chapter 6 Forces Force - A push or a pull on an object. The symbol F is used to represent the force. It is a vector quantity which means it has both direction and magnitude. Contact Force - A force that acts on an object only by touching it. Long Range Force - A force exerted without contact.
Four Fundamental Forces of Nature 1.Gravity 2.Electromagnetic 3.Strong Nuclear 4.Weak interaction Chapter 6 Forces
The agent is the specific, identifiable, immediate cause of the force.

Chapter 6 Forces 1. An object at rest or in motion will stay that way unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 2. The acceleration on an object is directly proportional to the fore and inversely proportional to the mass. a=F/m 3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s 3 laws
Chapter 6 Forces Inertia - The tendency of an object to resist motion. Equilibrium - When the net force on an object is zero. Equilibrant - The force equal to and opposite to the resultant.
Chapter 6 Forces Mass vs Weight Mass is the amount of matter in an object and weight is the force of gravity acting on the object. Mass never changes.
Chapter 6 Forces Newton A unit of force. F = ma = kg m/s 2 To change mass into weight, multiply the mass by 9.8 m/s 2
Chapter 6 Forces What force is required to accelerate an automobile weighing 20,000 N from 40 m/s to 70 m/s in 10 seconds?

a.the mass of the football. b.the net force. c.the acceleration of the football. A force of 100 N is exerted by a punter on a football that weighs 45 N. Find: a. b. Net Force = F up - F down = 100 N - 45 N = 55 N up c. = 4.6 kg Joe not blocking
Friction: A force that opposes the direction of motion. Static Friction: The force on one surface by the other when there is no relative motion between the two surfaces. Kinetic Friction: The force on one surface when the surfaces are in relative motion. Chapter 6 Forces

Air Resistance The force on a moving object when moving through air. Terminal Velocity The fastest something can fall because of air resistance. Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) Motion that returns an object to its equilibrium position as a result of a restoringforce that is directly proportional to its displacement. Chapter 6 Forces
