Study Notes

Energy and Motion

Energy is defined as the ability to do work.
Potential energy is characterized by being stored due to position or state.
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and an object has kinetic energy when it is in motion.
Kinetic energy represents the energy of motion.

Forces and Newton's Laws

Balanced forces are forces that result in no net force acting on an object, resulting in no change in motion.
Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion, either speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
Newton's Second Law of Motion is represented by the formula F = ma, where F is the net force acting on an object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object.
According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
The force of an object is measured in Newtons (N) according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.
The mathematical formulation of Newton's Second Law of Motion is F = ma.
Inertia is the concept that explains the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
The rate of change of velocity is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²) according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.
According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, action and reaction forces act equally and oppositely on two interacting objects.
When the force applied to an object increases, acceleration increases.
Forces occur in pairs, according to Newton's Third Law of Motion, with one force being the action and the other force being the reaction.
Distance vs. time graphs can be used to identify periods of rest, where the graph is a horizontal line.

Forces and Motion

A push is a force applied away from the body, while a pull is a force applied towards the body.
Distance vs. time graphs can be used to understand motion by showing the relationship between distance and time.
