Questions and Answers

Which of the following is an example of a contact force?

  • Gravity
  • Magnetism
  • Friction (correct)
  • Electromagnetic force

What happens to an object that has a net force of zero acting on it?

  • It moves with a constant velocity (correct)
  • It does not move at all
  • It moves with an increasing velocity
  • It moves with a decreasing velocity

Which of the following is an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion?

  • A skydiver falling from a plane
  • A tennis ball hitting a racket (correct)
  • A car accelerating on a straight road
  • A person walking on a sidewalk

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

<p>Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction and cancel each other out, resulting in no change in motion. Unbalanced forces are unequal in size and cause a change in motion.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

<p>Mass is the measure of an object's inertia. The greater the mass, the greater the object's resistance to changes in motion.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the difference between static and kinetic friction?

<p>Static friction is the force that opposes the start of motion between two surfaces that are in contact and at rest relative to each other. Kinetic friction is the force that opposes the motion of two surfaces that are in contact and are sliding relative to each other.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Types of Forces

  • An example of a contact force is friction.
  • Gravity is an example of a non-contact force.

Newton's Laws of Motion

  • An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
  • Newton's second law of motion states that force is equal to mass times acceleration.
  • Newton's Third Law of Motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Forces and Motion

  • When an object has a net force of zero acting on it, it will remain stationary or maintain its motion.
  • Balanced forces are when the sum of forces acting on an object is zero, resulting in no change in motion.
  • Unbalanced forces are when the sum of forces acting on an object is not zero, resulting in a change in motion.

Friction

  • Friction is a force that always opposes motion.
  • There are two types of friction: static and kinetic friction.
  • Static friction occurs when an object is stationary, while kinetic friction occurs when an object is moving.

Mass and Inertia

  • The relationship between mass and inertia is that objects with more mass have more inertia.
  • Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.

Importance of Studying Forces and Motion

  • The study of forces and motion is important in understanding the behavior of objects and their interactions.
