Questions and Answers
What are two effects of force on an object?
Force can move stationary objects and change the direction of motion.
How do balanced and unbalanced forces differ in their effects on motion?
Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion, whereas unbalanced forces change an object's speed and/or direction.
What role does frictional force play when attempting to move an object?
Frictional force opposes the motion of an object, making it harder to move when trying to push it.

Study Notes
Introduction to Force
- Force is an effort that changes an object's state, direction, or velocity.
- It can alter an object's shape, move stationary objects, or stop objects in motion.
Effects of Force
- Moves stationary objects.
- Stops objects from moving.
- Changes the shape of objects.
- Alters the direction of motion.
Push and Pull
- Push: Action causing an object to move away (e.g., opening doors, pushing furniture).
- Pull: Action that makes an object move towards (e.g., pulling strings, opening drawers).
Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
- Balanced Forces: No net force on an object; no change in motion occurs.
- Unbalanced Forces: Change the object's speed and/or direction, moving it in the direction of the highest force magnitude.
Net Force
- The net force is the resultant force from multiple forces acting on a body and determines its motion direction.
Frictional Force
- Friction opposes relative motion between surfaces in contact (e.g., a table not moving when pushed due to friction).
Laws of Motion
- First Law (Law of Inertia): An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion continues in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
- Internal forces are ineffective at changing a system's state; external forces, like friction, influence motion.
Conservation of Momentum
- In an isolated system with zero net external force, total momentum remains constant (e.g., collision of two balls).
Third Law of Motion
- Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, with action and reaction forces acting on different objects.
Inertial and Non-inertial Frames
- An inertial frame allows Newton's laws to hold, while a non-inertial frame is accelerating relative to an inertial frame, often detecting non-zero acceleration.
Inertia
- A property of matter that resists changes to its motion or rest.
- Depends on mass; more mass equates to more inertia.
Types of Inertia
- Inertia of Rest: An object remains at rest until acted upon (e.g., passengers feeling backward during car acceleration).
- Inertia of Motion: An object continues moving until a force intervenes (e.g., a hockey puck sliding on ice).
Second Law of Motion
- Momentum, defined as the product of mass and velocity (p = mv), reflects the impact of mass and speed.
- The rate of momentum change is proportional to the applied unbalanced force, leading to the formula F = ma.
Concept of System
- A system refers to a part of the universe under analysis; everything outside is the environment (e.g., a moving car as a system).
