Force § Force is an action that can change motion. 4 A force is

Force § Force is an action that can change motion. 4 A force is what we call a push or a pull, or any action that has the ability to change an object’s motion. 4 Forces can be used to increase the speed of an object, decrease the speed of an object, or change the direction in which an object is moving.

Force § A force of one newton is exactly the amount of force needed

Force § A force of one newton is exactly the amount of force needed to cause a mass of one kilogram to accelerate at one m/s 2. § We call the unit of force the newton (N). § A force of one pound is equal to about 4. 448 newtons.

Balanced & Unbalanced Forces

Balanced & Unbalanced Forces

Newton’s First Law of Inertia An object at rest tends to stay at rest

Newton’s First Law of Inertia An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Newton’s First Law § Unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, this golf ball

Newton’s First Law § Unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, this golf ball would sit on the tee forever.

Newton’s First Law If objects in motion tend to stay in motion, why don’t

Newton’s First Law If objects in motion tend to stay in motion, why don’t moving objects keep moving forever? Things don’t keep moving forever because there’s almost always an unbalanced force acting upon them. A book sliding across a table slows down and stops because of the force of friction. If you throw a ball upwards it will eventually slow down and fall because of the force of gravity.

Newton’s First Law Inertia § Inertia is a term used to measure the ability

Newton’s First Law Inertia § Inertia is a term used to measure the ability of an object to resist a change in its state of motion. § An object with a lot of inertia takes a lot of force to start or stop; an object with a small amount of inertia requires a small amount of force to start or stop. § The word “inertia” comes from the Latin word inertus, which can be translated to mean “lazy. ”

Newton’s First Law §MASS is the measure of the amount of matter in an

Newton’s First Law §MASS is the measure of the amount of matter in an object. §It is measured in Kilograms

Newton’s Second Law Force equals mass times acceleration. F = ma

Newton’s Second Law Force equals mass times acceleration. F = ma

Newton’s Second Law Direction of acceleration § Speed increases when the net force is

Newton’s Second Law Direction of acceleration § Speed increases when the net force is in the same direction as the motion. § Speed decreases when the net force is in the opposite direction as the motion.

Newton’s Third Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Newton’s Third Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Newton’s Third Law Forces occur in pairs § The two forces in a pair

Newton’s Third Law Forces occur in pairs § The two forces in a pair are called action and reaction. § Anytime you have one, you also have the other. § If you know the strength of one you also know the strength of the other since both forces are always equal.

Newton’s Third Law § Newton’s third law states that for every action force there

Newton’s Third Law § Newton’s third law states that for every action force there has to be a reaction force that is equal in strength and opposite in direction. § Action and reaction forces act on different objects, not on the same object. § The forces cannot cancel because they act on different objects.
