    Study Notes

    Contact Forces

    • Frictional Force: opposes motion between two surfaces in contact
      • Types:
        • Static Friction: prevents motion between two surfaces
        • Kinetic Friction: opposes motion between two surfaces already in motion
      • Depends on:
        • Normal Force ( Fn )
        • Coefficient of Friction ( μ )
      • Formula: F_f = μ * Fn
    • Normal Force (Fn): force exerted by a surface on an object perpendicular to the surface
      • Depends on:
        • Mass of the object
        • Acceleration due to gravity (g)
      • Formula: Fn = mg

    Field Forces

    • Gravitational Force: attractive force between two objects with mass
      • Depends on:
        • Masses of the objects (m1, m2)
        • Distance between the centers of the objects (r)
      • Formula: F_g = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
    • Electric Force: force between two charged objects
      • Depends on:
        • Charges (q1, q2)
        • Distance between the centers of the charges (r)
      • Formula: F_e = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2
    • Magnetic Force: force between two magnets or a magnet and a current-carrying wire
      • Depends on:
        • Magnetic field strength (B)
        • Velocity of the moving charge (v)
        • Angle between the magnetic field and the velocity vector (θ)
      • Formula: F_m = q * v * B * sin(θ)

    Contact Forces

    • Frictional Force: opposes motion between two surfaces in contact, dependent on Normal Force (Fn) and Coefficient of Friction (μ)
    • Types of Frictional Force:
      • Static Friction: prevents motion between two surfaces
      • Kinetic Friction: opposes motion between two surfaces already in motion
    • Frictional Force Formula: F_f = μ * Fn
    • Normal Force (Fn): force exerted by a surface on an object perpendicular to the surface, dependent on mass of the object and acceleration due to gravity (g)
    • Normal Force Formula: Fn = mg

    Field Forces

    • Gravitational Force: attractive force between two objects with mass, dependent on masses of the objects (m1, m2) and distance between the centers of the objects (r)

    • Electric Force: force between two charged objects, dependent on charges (q1, q2) and distance between the centers of the charges (r)
    • Electric Force Formula: F_e = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2
    • Magnetic Force: force between two magnets or a magnet and a current-carrying wire, dependent on magnetic field strength (B), velocity of the moving charge (v), and angle between the magnetic field and the velocity vector (θ)
    • Magnetic Force Formula: F_m = q * v * B * sin(θ)
