Questions and Answers

What is a resultant vector?

  • A vector representing the sum of all other acting vectors (correct)
  • A vector that has no effect on an object's motion
  • A vector that only shows the direction of motion
  • A vector that can only act in one direction

According to Newton's 1st law, what will happen to an object at rest?

  • It will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force (correct)
  • It will move unless a force pulls it
  • It will eventually fall if not supported
  • It will start moving due to gravitational forces

What does Newton's 2nd law state about acceleration?

  • Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass (correct)
  • Acceleration decreases as mass increases
  • Acceleration is constant regardless of external forces
  • Acceleration is independent of the net force

Study Notes

Resultant Vector

  • The combined effect of multiple forces acting on an object
  • Represents the single force that would have the same effect as all the individual forces

Normal Force

  • Force exerted by a surface on an object in contact with it
  • Always acts perpendicular to the surface

Newton's First Law of Motion

  • Also known as the law of inertia
  • An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

Newton's Second Law of Motion

  • Defines the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration
  • Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass
  • Formula: F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration)

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation

  • Every object in the universe attracts every other object
  • The force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
  • Formula: F = G(m1m2)/r^2 (G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between them)

Coulomb's Law

  • Describes the electrostatic force between two point charges
  • Force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
  • Formula: F = k(q1q2)/r^2 (k is Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the distance between them)

Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

  • An electromotive force (EMF) is induced in a closed circuit when there is a change in magnetic flux through the circuit
  • The induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux
  • Formula: EMF = -dΦ/dt (Φ is the magnetic flux and t is time)

Ohm's Law

  • For a material at a constant temperature, the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends
  • Formula: V = IR (V is the voltage across the conductor, I is the current flowing through it, and R is the resistance)
