Forces
What is a Force?
Combining Forces
Balanced Forces
Forces have no effect on motion of object
Unbalanced Forces
Forces affect motion of object
Net Force
The combination of all forces acting on an object
A Push or Pull
Described by strength and direction
Friction
Why does it happen?
When two forces rub against each other they create friction
Types of Friction
Static
When an object is not moving
Sliding
When two suffices slide over each other
Rolling
When an object rolls across a surface
Fluid
When a solid moves through a fluid
Gravity
Universal Gravitation
Every object attracts other objects to itself
Factors Affecting Gravity
Mass and Distance
More mass equals more gravitational force
More distance between two objects equals less gravitational force
Weight and Mass
Mass is the amount of matter in an object
Weight relies on gravity
Motion
Free Fall
Unbalanced Force
When the only force acting on an object is gravity
Air Resistance
Type of fluid friction that occurs when an object gets slowed down by air
Projectile Motion
Terminal Velocity
Newton's Laws of Motion
First Law
Inertia
Resistance to a change in motion
Second Law
Determining Acceleration
Acceleration = Net Force ÷ Mass
Changes in Force and Mass
More Net Force = More Acceleration More Mass = Less Acceleration
Third Law
For Every Action There Is An Equal And Opposite Reaction
Action-Reaction Pairs
Action-Reaction Forces always occur in pairs
Momentum
Conservation of Momentum
Unless there are outside forces, the total momentum of two interacting objects will not change
Momentum = Mass × Velocity
Rockets
Rockets lift off by expelling gases downward and this force causes an equal and opposite reaction on the rocket
Satellites
An object that orbits other objects in space
Centripetal Force
A force that causes an object to move in a circular path
Satellites in orbit around Earth are falling but travel around because Earth is curved
