Study Notes

Type of Quantity

  • Force is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

Symbol for Force

  • The common symbol used to represent force is F.

SI Unit of Force

  • The SI unit of force is the newton (N), which is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared.

Rotational Version of Force

  • The rotational equivalent of force is known as torque, which measures the tendency of a force to cause rotation about an axis.

Newton's Laws of Motion

  • Newton's Second Law of Motion specifically relates force to mass and acceleration, expressed by the formula F = ma, where F represents force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
