1
Forces Any push or pull
2
Forces any push or pull wants to change the motion of an object
has size has direction can change speed can change direction unit is the Newton
3
Newton metric unit of weight = mass x force of gravity
= mass x 9.8 m/sec2
4
Contact vs Non-contact
Contact: there is contact between what is exerting the force and what is receiving the force Non-contact: the result is visible but you cannot see the contact between the force and the agent, example gravity
5
Net Force combination of all of the forces
determined by the directions of the forces shown by vectors
6
Vector arrow attached to the receiver of the force
length = magnitude of the force direction shown by the arrow head →, ↓, ↑, ←
7
Net force Forces in the same direction: add the forces together
Forces in different directions: subtract the smaller force from the larger one
8
Balanced Forces net force = 0 no change in motion
an object at rest will stay at rest
9
Unbalanced Force Net force ≠ 0 change in speed change in direction
object at rest will move object moving might stop
