Force is a push or a pull exerted by an object on another
Force between two bodies that are in contact with each
other is called contact force
muscular force, friction force, and Spring force is an example of contact force
Force that acts even if the interacting bodies are
separated by a distance is called noncontact or action
at a distance force
Examples of noncontact forces are gravitational force,
electrostatic force between charged bodies and
magnetic force
Gravitational force is the attractive force exerted
by objects with mass
Electromagnetic force is the force that holds
atoms and molecules together
Strong nuclear force is the force between
protons and neutrons in a nucleus
Weak nuclear force plays a role in the radioactive
decay of some nuclei
Grand Unified Theory is the theory that
attempted to unify strong nuclear force, weak
nuclear force, and electromagnetic force
Theory of Everything is theory that tried to unite
all fundamental forces
only the electromagnetic force and the
weak nuclear force have been successfully united to
form the electroweak force through the efforts of
Sheldon GlashowAbdus Salam and Steven
Weinberg in the 1970 ’ reducing the fundamental
forces from four to three
ISAAC NEWTON
He was credited for being the first to describe the motion of massive objects and formulate the three laws of motion. Newton’s laws of motion constitute the fundamental principles of dynamics, which deals with force in relation to the motion of an object
Newton’s first, second, and third laws
of motion are also called
1.
Law of Inertia
2.
Law of Acceleration
3.
Law of Interaction
The law of inertia states that a body at rest
will remain at rest and a body in motion will
continue to move with constant velocity
unless acted upon by an unbalanced
external force.
A resultant force that is not equal to zero is considered an
unbalanced force.
The net force or resultant force is the vector sum of all the
forces acting on a body.
Inertia is the property of a body that tends to resist change
in its state of motion.
Mass is a measure of inertia
The greater the mass , the greater the inertia . The
greater the inertia , the harder it is to change the state of
motion of a body.
Newton’s law of inertia as well as Republic Act 8750
(otherwise known as The Seat Belt Use Act of 1999) are
two reasons why we need to use seatbelts.
The net force of an object is equal to the
product of its mass and acceleration, or
F=ma.
The acceleration of the body is directlyproportional to the
net force acting upon it.
Furthermore, the acceleration is inversely proportional to
the mass of the body.
The greater the mass of a body, the lesser the acceleration.
1 N = 1 kg · m/s²
1 dyne = 1 g · cm/s²
1 N = 10⁵dynes
The weight of a body on Earth is the measure of the force
of gravity exerted by Earth on it.
On the other hand, mass is the amount of matter of a body
contains.
Mass and weight are related as
w = mg
The mass of the body is constant while its weight
depends on the value of acceleration due to gravity .
Newton’s third law of motionstates that for
everyaction, there is an equal butopposite
reaction.
Work is defined as the dotproduct of force F and
displacement d in the direction of the force.
The SI unit of work is the newton meter (N · m)m), also
called the Joule (J) in honor of James Prescott Joules.
A smaller unit of work is the erg , which is derived from
ergon, the Greek word for “ work ”.
1 J = 1 N · m
1 erg = 1 dyne · cm
1 J = 10⁷ergs
Energy is defined as the capacity to do work
Energy comes in many forms. These include light energy,
chemical energy, heat energy, and electrical energy
