    • What is Motion?
      A change in position over time
    • How to know something is in motion?
      Use a reference point!
    • What causes an object to move?
      A FORCE! 😝
    • What is a Force?

      A push or a pull
    • vector quantity
      a quantity that has both magnitude and direction
    • What is The total combination of theforces acting on an object called?

      Net Force
    • Balanced Force

      net force equals ZERO πŸ‘‰πŸ‘Œ
    • Unbalanced Force

      net force is NOT equal to zero πŸš«πŸ‘Œ
    • Can unbalanced forces change an object's velocity?
      Yes
    • Can unbalanced forces act in the samedirection?
      Yes
    • Gravitational Force

      The force of attraction 😍 between all objects
    • The amount of gravity depends on two things
      The objects' massesβ€’ The distance between the two objectsOr on earth, weight πŸ†
    • Applied Force

      a force which is applied to an object by a person or another object. Could be push pull πŸ†πŸ‘
    • Normal Force

      the force perpendicular to a surface that prevents an object from falling through the surface
    • Tension Force

      The force that is transmitted through a string, rope, cable or wire when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends (gi bira from equal forces in the end..gago basta oi)
    • Air resistance force

      Frictional 😳 force that acts upon objects as they travel through the air
    • Friction Force
      Acts in a direction opposite to motion
    • Kinetic Friction

      Friction between moving surfaces
    • static friction

      Friction that acts on objects that are not moving
    • Spring Force

      The force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring upon any object that is attached to it
    • A projectile is any object that continues in motion by its own inertia and is influenced only by the downward force of gravity and air resistance.
    • An object dropped from rest is a projectile.
    • An object thrown straight upward is a projectile.
    • An object thrown upward at an angle to the horizontal is a projectile.
    • The path that the projectile follows is a parabola, which is called its trajectory.
    • If there is no force acting on an object, it will continue moving at a constant speed in the same direction, with no change in its velocity and distance will increase the same amount with each second.
    • An object in free fall is only acted on by gravity, with acceleration due to gravity being 9.8 m/s^2 and distance covered increasing with each second.
    • The vertical motion of a projectile is not affected by its horizontal motion, meaning the vertical motion of a projectile is identical to an object in free fall.
    • The horizontal motion of a projectile is not affected by its vertical motion, meaning the projectile will travel the same horizontal distance as it would if it were simply rolling on a flat surface in the absence of friction.
    • The vertical and horizontal motion of a projectile are independent of each other.
    • Projectiles which have no upward trajectory and no initial vertical velocity are referred to as horizontally launched projectiles.
    • Different launch angles result in different horizontal distances traveled by the projectile.
    • The same range is obtained from two different launching angles when the angles add up to 90Β°.
    • An object launched at an angle of 60Β° has the same range as if it were thrown at an angle of 30Β°.
    • What launch angle would have the same range as a projectile launched at 20Β°?
    • Since the projectile was launched at a angle, the velocity must be broken into components.
    • Tension force has the same magnitude at each end.
    • Static Friction is the friction between stationary surfaces.
    • The contact between an object and a surface reduces the speed of the object and releases heat.
    • Gravitational Force, also known as Weight, is calculated by the formula w = mg, where m is mass and g is the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s 2.
