What is the unit for force?

The unit for force is the Newton (N). One Newton is the force required to accelerate a 1-kilogram mass at a rate of 1 meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s²).

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia, states that 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.

What is the formula for work?

Work (W) is done when a force causes an object to move. The amount of work done is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. Mathematically expressed as: Work (W) = Force (F) × Distance (d) × cos(θ), where θ is the angle between the force vector and the displacement vector.

What is the unit for power?

The unit for power is the Watt (W). One Watt is equal to one Joule per second (1 W = 1 J/s).

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first object.

Study Notes

Units for Force, Energy, Work, Power

  • Force: Measured in Newtons (N). One Newton is the force required to accelerate a 1-kilogram mass at a rate of 1 meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s²).

  • Energy: Measured in Joules (J). A Joule is the amount of work done when a force of one Newton moves an object through a distance of one meter in the direction of the force.

Newton's Laws of Motion

  • Newton's First Law (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. This implies a force is needed to change the object's motion.

  • Newton's Second Law of Motion: An object's acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and inversely proportional to its mass. This is F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

  • Newton's Third Law of Motion: For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. When one object applies a force to a second object, the second object simultaneously applies an equal and opposite force to the first object.

Work

  • Work: Work is done when a force causes an object to move. The work done equals the force applied times the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. Mathematically expressed as: Work (W) = Force (F) × Distance (d) × cos(θ), where θ is the angle between the force vector and the displacement vector.

  • Units of Work: The unit for work is the Joule (J).

Power

  • Power: Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. It is calculated as the amount of work done divided by the time taken to do the work. Mathematically expressed as: Power (P) = Work (W) / Time (t).

  • Units of Power: The unit for power is the Watt (W). One Watt is equal to one Joule per second (1 W = 1 J/s).
