Study Notes
Chapter 9: Force and Laws of Motion
- Motion described by position, velocity, and acceleration, can be uniform or non-uniform
- Scientists and philosophers puzzled by what causes motion.
- Rest considered the natural state until Galileo and Newton.
- Effort required to change an object's motion, defining force.
- Forces can change an object's velocity (magnitude/direction) or shape/size.
9.1 Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
- Balanced forces: Equal magnitude, opposite directions, no change in motion.
- Unbalanced forces: Unequal magnitude, resulting in movement.
- Unbalanced force is needed to change an object's speed or direction
- Friction opposes motion; balanced by push/pull until unbalanced.
9.2 First Law of Motion
- Objects resist changes in motion (inertia).
- Unbalanced force needed for changes in velocity.
- Examples:
- Marble on inclined plane
- Motorcar stopping/starting
9.4 Second Law of Motion
- Acceleration directly proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass.
- Momentum defined as mass × velocity.
- Rate of change of momentum is equal to force.
- Formula: F = ma
9.5 Third Law of Motion
- For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.
- Forces always act on different objects, not self.
- Examples:
- Gun firing
- Sailor jumping off a boat
- Stepping on a scale
9.6 Conservation of Momentum
- Total momentum of a system remains the same unless external forces affect it.
- Momentum is conserved in collisions.
