Study Notes
Newton's Laws of Motion
- Newton's First Law (Inertia): An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.
- Inertia: The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.
- Equilibrium: When an object isn't being accelerated, and all forces cancel each other out.
- Objects at rest: Remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on them.
- Objects in motion: Continue moving at the same velocity as long as no unbalanced force affects them.
- Motion doesn't require a force: A force is needed only to change the motion (starting, stopping or changing direction).
Newton's Second Law of Motion
- F = ma: Force equals mass times acceleration.
- Acceleration: The change in velocity over time, directly proportional to the net force acting on an object, and inversely proportional to its mass.
- Larger forces: Produce greater acceleration.
- Larger masses: Reduce acceleration.
- Net force: The combination of all forces acting on an object.
Newton's Third Law of Motion
- Action-reaction: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Resultant Force: The single force that has the same effect as all the individual forces acting on an object.
Types of Equilibrium
- Static: Object is stationary. (Book resting on a table)
- Dynamic: Object moves at a constant velocity. (Car driving at a constant speed on a straight road).
Forces in Equilibrium
- Equilibrium: Net force on an object is zero.
- Forces cancel out: All forces in equilibrium cancel each other out.
- Acceleration is zero: When forces that act on an object are in balance.
Friction
- Static friction: Prevents motion; greater than kinetic friction
- Kinetic friction: Opposes motion once the object starts moving
- Friction: Reduces acceleration, or maintains constant velocity
Forces in Moving Objects
- Net force: Total force acting on an object, determining whether it accelerates or moves at a constant speed. (Fnet = ma)
- Types of forces: Applied, friction, gravitational, tension.
Mass, Weight, and Gravity
- Mass: Measure of the amount of matter in an object, and its resistance to acceleration (inertia).
- Weight: Force exerted by gravity on an object.
- Weight depends on gravity: Weight varies depending on the gravitational field, mass doesn't.
- Mass (kg): Measured in kilograms
- Weight (N): Measured in Newtons
Free Fall and Terminal Velocity
- Free fall: Gravity is the only force acting on an object.
- Terminal velocity: Air resistance equals gravitational force, causing constant speed of fall.
Motion in Inclined Planes
- Gravity on inclines: Has two components, parallel & perpendicular to the inclined plane.
- Parallel component: Causes sliding down
- Perpendicular component: Is balanced by normal force.
Tension
- Tension: Force transmitted through objects like ropes, cables, or strings.
- Acts along the length: Directed away from the object being pulled.
