10 Questions
What is the unit of measurement for force?
The unit of measurement for force is Newtons (N).
State Newton's First Law of Motion.
Newton's First Law (Law of Inertia) states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
What is the mathematical expression for Newton's Second Law of Motion?
The mathematical expression for Newton's Second Law of Motion is F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
Define friction and its role in motion.
Friction is a force that opposes the motion of objects in contact with each other. It arises due to the roughness of surfaces and can be influenced by factors such as the nature of the materials in contact and the applied force.
Explain Newton's Third Law of Motion.
Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When one object exerts a force on another, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.
An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
True
Forces always occur in pairs, with one force being equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the other.
True
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass.
True
Friction is a force that supports the motion of objects in contact with each other.
False
Friction arises due to the smoothness of surfaces and is not influenced by external factors.
False
Study Notes
Forces and Motion
- The unit of measurement for force is the Newton.
Newton's Laws of Motion
- First Law: An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
- Second Law: The mathematical expression is F = ma, where F is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration.
- Third Law: Forces always occur in pairs, with one force being equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the other.
Friction
- Friction is a force that opposes motion between objects in contact.
- Friction arises due to the smoothness of surfaces and is influenced by external factors.
- Friction plays a crucial role in motion, but its effect is opposite to what is intended: it opposes motion rather than supporting it.
