Study Notes
Lesson 7: Force in General Physics 1
- This lesson focuses on force, a specialized subject within General Physics 1.
- Mechanics is the study of object motion related to force and energy concepts.
- Kinematics describes how objects move, focusing on motion.
- Dynamics describes why objects move, examining motion and forces.
- Kinematics includes concepts like displacement, time, velocity, acceleration, and mass.
- Dynamics involves Force, Momentum, Energy, Work, and Power.
- Force is a push or pull.
- Forces can be categorized into contact forces and non-contact forces.
Contact Forces
- Contact forces require physical touch between objects.
- Types of contact forces include applied force and frictional force.
- Further types include normal force and air resistance.
Non-Contact Forces
- Non-contact forces act between objects without direct touch.
- Examples include gravitational force, magnetic force, and electric force.
Newton's First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia)
- An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
- Inertia can also be defined as the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity.
- Alternatively, inertia can be seen as the tendency of an object to resist acceleration.
- Balanced forces result in a net force of zero and no change in motion.
- Unbalanced forces result in a net force not equal to zero and change in motion.
Newton's Second Law of Motion (Law of Acceleration)
- The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
- The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
- Acceleration (a) is calculated as net force (F) divided by mass (m).
- The unit of force is the Newton (N), equal to 1 kg⋅m/s².
Mass and Weight
- Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
- Weight is the gravitational force acting on an object.
- Weight (W) is calculated by multiplying mass (m) by acceleration due to gravity (g).
Universal Law of Gravitation
- Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
- This force acts along the line joining the two particles.
- The force of gravity (F𝑔) is calculated using the universal gravitational constant (G), the masses of the two objects (m1 and m2), and the distance between them (r).
Sample Problems
- Various sample problems demonstrate calculations related to force, acceleration, and gravity. These problems utilize Newton's laws and the equation for gravitational force. Calculations of net force, acceleration, and gravitational forces are included.
