Study Notes

Force and Motion

Newton's Laws

First Law (Law of Inertia):
- An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
- Inertia: the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.
Second Law (F = ma):
- Force (F) is equal to the mass (m) of an object multiplied by its acceleration (a).
- F = ma, where F is the net force acting on an object, m is its mass, and a is its acceleration.
Third Law (Action and Reaction):
- For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- When two objects interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Friction

Types of Friction:
- Static Friction: the force that prevents an object from moving when a force is applied.
- Kinetic Friction: the force that opposes an object's motion when it is already moving.
- Rolling Friction: the force that opposes the motion of an object rolling on a surface.
Factors Affecting Friction:
- Surface roughness: increases frictional force.
- Normal force: increases frictional force.
- Surface area: increases frictional force.

Gravity

Universal Gravitation:
- Every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points.
- The force of gravity is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Gravity on Earth:
- The acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 m/s².
- Gravity is the force that keeps objects on or near the Earth's surface.
