    Study Notes

    Definition of Force

    • A force is a push or pull that causes an object to change its motion or shape.
    • It is a vector quantity, having both magnitude (amount of force) and direction.

    Types of Forces

    • Contact Forces: Forces that act through direct contact between objects, such as:
      • Frictional force (resists motion)
      • Normal force (perpendicular to the surface)
      • Tension force (in a stretched string or wire)
      • Air resistance force (opposes motion through air)
    • Non-Contact Forces: Forces that act without direct contact between objects, such as:
      • Gravity (attractive force between objects with mass)
      • Electromagnetic force (acts between charged particles)
      • Magnetic force (acts between magnets or magnetic fields)

    Characteristics of Forces

    • Net Force: The resultant force acting on an object, equal to the sum of all forces acting on it.
    • Force Pairs: Two forces that act on an object, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no net force.
    • Force and Acceleration: Forces cause objects to accelerate (change velocity), with the magnitude of the force directly proportional to the acceleration produced.

    Newton's Laws of Motion

    • First Law (Law of Inertia): An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion, 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.
    • Third Law (Action and Reaction): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
