Study Notes

Motion and Forces Essentials

Force calculation includes mass and acceleration; example: 370 N is calculated for an object transitioning from 35 m/s to 85 m/s.
To find force: multiply mass by acceleration; for a 12 kg object with 4 m/s² results in 48 N.
Average acceleration of a sprinter moving from 5.0 m/s to 7.5 m/s in 1.25 seconds is 2 m/s².
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity; a motorcycle with a mass of 250 kg moving at 68 m/s has a momentum of 17,000 kg·m/s.
The acceleration of a 200-kg object acted upon by a 3,000 N force is calculated at 15 m/s².

Distance and Displacement

Total distance traveled is the sum of all path lengths, as shown in a truck traveling to and from a quarry: 5 km distance, 0 km displacement.
Average speed for a runner completing 10 km in 40 minutes is 0.25 km/min.
A dog traveling 250 meters in 8 seconds has a velocity of 31.25 m/s.
A truck loaded with scrap weighs 14 metric tons and had zero momentum after stopping to refuel.

Motion Calculations

A cyclist traveling 8.45 km in 0.65 hours achieves a speed of 13 km/h.
The momentum of a 10 kg wagon moving at 25 m/s is 250 kg·m/s.
A dog’s travel resulting in 61 m distance and 9 m displacement after changing directions showcases the difference between the two concepts.

Newton's Laws of Motion

Newton's first law, or the Law of Inertia, asserts that an object remains in its state of motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
The force exerting an action has an equal and opposite action; this is the essence of Newton's third law.
Unbalanced forces cause acceleration; a tug-of-war where one team wins is an example.
Balanced forces result in a net force of zero, keeping an object in motion.

Gravitational Force and Acceleration

Mass and distance between two objects dictate the gravitational force; larger distances result in decreased gravitational force.
A bowling ball is harder to stop than a soccer ball due to its greater mass at the same speed.
The concept of terminal velocity describes the maximum speed a falling object can achieve, stabilizing due to equal force of gravity and air resistance.

Everyday Applications

Inertia explains why passengers may crash into windshields during sudden stops.
Weight differs on the Moon compared to Earth due to variations in gravitational pull, while mass remains constant.
A common misconception is the relation of gravitational forces between various objects; the moon and Earth have the greatest gravitational attraction compared to smaller objects.

Fundamental Concepts

Friction acts against motion, resisting sliding between surfaces in contact.
The greater the force, the greater the acceleration an object will experience, indicating a direct relationship according to Newton's second law.
Continuous motion at constant velocity will only change when influenced by an unbalanced force, confirming the inertia principle in everyday occurrences.
