Study Notes
Force and Motion
What is Force?
- A push or pull that causes an object to change its motion or shape
- Measured in units of Newtons (N)
- Can be either external (from outside the object) or internal (from within the object)
Types of Forces
- Gravitational Force: the force that attracts two objects with mass towards each other
- Frictional Force: the force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact
- Normal Force: the force exerted by a surface on an object that is in contact with it
- Tension Force: the force exerted by a stretched string or wire
- Air Resistance: the force that opposes the motion of an object through the air
Newton's Laws of Motion
- 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
- Second Law (F=ma): the force applied to an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma)
- Third Law (Action and Reaction): for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Types of Motion
- Translational Motion: motion in a straight line
- Rotational Motion: motion around a fixed axis
- Circular Motion: motion in a circular path
- Oscillatory Motion: motion that repeats over time, such as a pendulum or a spring
Motion Graphs
- Displacement-Time Graphs: show the position of an object over time
- Velocity-Time Graphs: show the velocity of an object over time
- Acceleration-Time Graphs: show the acceleration of an object over time

Globalization
Definition
- Globalization is the increasing interconnectedness of world economies, societies, and cultures.
- It involves the free flow of goods, services, ideas, and people across national borders.
Drivers of Globalization
- Technological advancements have facilitated global interaction and trade through improvements in transportation, communication, and information technology.
- Economic liberalization has created an environment conducive to global trade and investment through reductions in trade barriers, deregulation, and privatization.
- Political changes such as the end of the Cold War, collapse of communism, and rise of democratic governments have led to increased global cooperation.
Characteristics of Globalization
- Global supply chains involve the production and distribution of goods and services across multiple countries.
- Outsourcing and offshoring involve companies relocating production or services to countries with lower labor costs.
- Free trade agreements aim to reduce trade barriers and tariffs through bilateral or multilateral agreements.
- Cultural homogenization involves the spread of global culture, values, and lifestyles.
Impact of Globalization
Economic Impact
- Globalization has led to increased economic growth and investment.
- Job creation and higher wages have occurred in some sectors.
- Increased competition and job losses have occurred in other sectors.
Social Impact
- Globalization has led to cultural exchange and diversity.
- Increased inequality and poverty have occurred in some regions.
- Changes in traditional social structures and values have resulted.
Environmental Impact
- Globalization has led to an increased carbon footprint and environmental degradation.
- Exploitation of natural resources has occurred.
- Global cooperation on environmental issues has increased.
Criticisms of Globalization
- Critics argue that globalization has widened the gap between rich and poor countries, and rich and poor individuals within countries.
- Automation and outsourcing have led to job losses in some industries.
- Globalization has contributed to the loss of local cultures and traditions.
- It has also contributed to environmental problems such as climate change and pollution.
