Study Notes
- A force is a push or pull acting on an object that changes its motion.
- Types of forces: contact forces (applied forces, friction) and field forces (gravity, electromagnetic force).
- Contact forces require physical contact between objects.
- Field forces act through empty space.
- Newton's Laws of Motion:
- 1st Law (Law of Inertia): an object will stay at rest or in motion at constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- 2nd Law: force equals mass times acceleration.
- 3rd Law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Four fundamental forces in nature:
- Gravitational Force: an attractive force that exists between all objects; weakest force.
- Electromagnetic Force: results from electric charge; very large compared to gravity.
- Strong Nuclear Force: holds particles in the nucleus of an atom; strongest force but only acts over a short distance.
- Weak Force: a form of electromagnetic force involved in radioactive decay.
- Forces in and on the body:
- Muscular forces cause blood circulation and lung function.
- Molecular forces exist in bone and calcium atoms.
- Electric forces exist in the body.
- Gravitational forces affect medical conditions like varicose veins and bone loss.
- Effects of gravity on the body and medical conditions.
- Lever Systems:
- Levers consist of a beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinge or fulcrum.
- Levers divide into three types based on the location of the fulcrum, load, and effort.
- In the human body, bones act as levers, joints as fulcrums, and muscle contractions provide effort.
- Mechanical advantage and mechanical disadvantage in levers.
- Mechanical advantage formula: MAlever = Effort (force) arm / Resistance (load) arm.
- Example: lifting a weight with the back horizontal exerts a larger torque and requires greater force from muscles compared to lifting the same weight while keeping back straight.
