  • The SI unit of force is the newton (N).
  • A force can be calculated using F = ma, where m is mass and a is acceleration.
  • Newtons second law states that the rate at which an object's momentum changes is directly proportional to the resultant force acting on it.
  • Newtons second law states that the rate at which an object's momentum changes is equal to the net external force acting on it.
  • Momentum is defined as p=mv, where m is mass and v is velocity.
  • Work done by a constant force is equal to the product of the magnitude of the force and the distance moved in the direction of the force.
  • Impulse is defined as change in momentum over time, or impulse = change in momentum.
  • Energy is defined as the ability to do work or transfer heat.
  • Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
  • Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of motion or rest.
  • Power is defined as P=Fvcosθ, where F is the force applied, v is the speed of the object, and cosθ represents the component of motion along the line of action of the force.
  • When two forces act on an object, they cause different effects depending on their relative magnitudes and directions.
  • An unbalanced force causes an object to accelerate.
  • Energy is defined as energy transferred/energy stored.
  • The equation for calculating work done when a force acts through a displacement is W = Fd cosθ, where d is the displacement and θ is the angle between the force vector and the displacement vector.
  • Potential energy is stored energy within an object.
  • The equation for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 x mv^2
  • When a force acts through a displacement, the work done depends on both the size of the force and the length of the path along which it acts.
  • Kinetic energy is defined as KE=1/2mv^2.
  • Potential energy is the stored energy within an object due to its position or configuration.
  • The equation for power can be simplified to P=Fv if the angle between the force and velocity vectors is zero (θ=0).
  • Potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into other forms of energy.
  • The equation for potential energy is PE = mgx
  • Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position relative to Earth's surface.
  • If a force acts perpendicularly to the displacement, no work is done because there is no component of the force parallel to the displacement.
  • The resultant force can be calculated using vector addition.
  • Average power is calculated using the formula Pavg=(work done)/(time taken), while instantaneous power is calculated using the formula Pinst=dW/dt.
  • The equation for kinetic energy (KE) is KE = 1/2mv^2.
  • A balanced force does not result in any net effect on the object's motion.
  • If the resultant force is zero, there will be no acceleration and the object will remain at rest or continue moving with constant velocity.
  • A balanced force system occurs when all forces acting on an object are equal and opposite, resulting in no net force and no acceleration.
  • Mechanical advantage refers to the ratio of output force to input force in a machine.
  • The direction of the resultant force can be found using vector addition.
  • Forces acting at right angles cancel out when added together.
  • Average power can be calculated using the formula average power = work done / time taken.
  • Work done is equal to the product of the force acting on an object and the distance it moves in that direction.
  • Work done by a constant force acting at right angles to the direction of motion is zero.
  • Average power can be calculated using the formula Pavg = (work done)/(time taken).
  • Work-energy theorem states that the net work done on an object equals the change in kinetic energy of the object.
  • Conservation of energy principle states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another.
