Force
is the energy used to push and pull an object.
View source
Motion
is the movement or change in position of an object resulting in force.
View source
Balanced
force
does not cause change in motion, net force is 0.
View source
Unbalanced force
result in net force, causing acceleration or changes in motion.
View source
Contact force
is the force exerted by an object due to its interaction with another object.
View source
Non contact force
does not involve direct physical contact.
View source
Types of contact force include
Muscular
,
Applied
,
Friction
,
Normal
, and
Tension.
View source
Friction forces
are the force exerted by a surface where an object moves across it.
View source
Normal forces
support the weight of an object and prevent it from passing through the surface.
View source
Tension forces
are exerted by a rope, cable, chain, or any flexible connector that is pulled taut.
View source
Two types of Non Contact force are
Gravitational
force and
Magnetic
force.
View source
Sir
Isaac Newton
summarized the 3 law of motion: Law of
Inertia
, Law of
Acceleration
, and Law of
Interaction.
View source
Law of
Inertia
states that an object at rest will remain at rest, an object in motion will remain in motion.
View source
Inertia of rest
is when an object stays where it is placed.
View source
Inertia of
Motion
is when an object will continue at the same speed unless force act on it.
View source
Inertia of
Direction
is when an object will stay moving in same direction unless a force act on it.
View source
To find the
net
force
, if the direction of the object motions is the same as the direction of the force, add the forces; if the direction of the object motions is different from the direction of the force, subtract the forces.
View source
Law of
Acceleration
states that force is directly proportional to acceleration, inversely proportional to mass.
View source
Work
is defined as the product of the force applied to move an object.
View source
Gaspard Coriolis
is a French Mathematician who is known for his work on work.
View source
Work
is done when the object must move when force is applied and the direction of the object motions is the same as the direction of the force.
View source
Energy
is the ability to do work.
View source
The
greater
the force you’re giving, the
faster
the object
accelerates.
View source
The
less
the force you’re giving, the
slower
the object
accelerates.
View source
The
greater
the mass of an object, the less it will
accelerate.
View source
The
less
the mass of an object, the faster it will
accelerate.
View source
Kinetic
energy is the energy an object has due to its motion, while
potential
energy is stored energy that can do work when released.
Energy
can be transferred from one place to another or transformed into different forms.
The SI unit of energy is the
joule
(
J
).
Gravitational potential energy
is the energy an object has because of its position relative to Earth's surface.
Work
done by a force is equal to the change in kinetic energy of an object.
Potential energy is
stored
energy
that can be converted into
kinetic
energy or other forms of energy.
Elastic
potential energy is the energy stored in stretched or compressed objects.
Power
is the rate at which energy is used up or produced.
Work
done =
Force
x
Distance
moved by the object
The formula for power is
Power
=
Energy
/
Time taken.
Chemical potential energy
is the energy stored in chemical bonds between atoms.
Force
: Energy used to push and pull an object.
View source
Motion
: Movement or change in position of an object resulting in force.
View source
Balanced force
: Forces that do not cause a change in motion, with a net force of
0.
