Study Notes

Motion and Force

  • Motion is caused by force, which can bring a rested body to motion, bring a moving body to rest, speed up or slow down a body, and change the direction of a body.
  • The S.I unit of force is Newton (N), which is a unit of measurement for the amount of force required to cause a change in velocity.

Types of Forces

  • Contact forces: forces that require physical contact between objects, such as frictional force.
  • Non-contact forces: forces that do not require physical contact, such as gravitational force and spring force.

Newton's Laws of Motion

1st Law of Motion (Law of Inertia)

  • An object at rest remains at rest, or an object in motion remains in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
  • Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.

2nd Law of Motion

  • Momentum (p) is the product of an object's mass (m) and velocity (V), and is measured in Kg m/s.
  • Force (F) is the rate of change in momentum, and is measured in Newtons (N).
  • F = m(V - u) / t, where u is the initial velocity and V is the final velocity.

3rd Law of Motion

  • For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
  • The law applies to conservation of momentum and is often seen in explosions, where gas is expelled out.

Conservation of Momentum

  • The total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after a collision.
  • Momentum is conserved in a closed system.
