Flashcards
Newton's Third Law
Newton's Third Law
Newton's Third Law explains that for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. If you push a wall, it pushes back with the same force.
Force Pairs
Force Pairs
Force pairs are the forces two objects exert on each other. When you hit a ball, both you and the ball experience forces.
Collision Force
Collision Force
A collision force occurs when objects bump into each other, causing energy transfer and often a change in momentum.

Study Notes
Newton's Third Law
- For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.
- When one object applies a force on another, the second object applies an equal force in the opposite direction.
- Action and reaction forces act on different objects, so they do not cancel each other out.
Force Pairs
- The forces two objects apply to each other.
- Important in collisions, transferring energy and momentum.
- Forces that act during a collision, transferring energy and often resulting in momentum change.
Types of Collisions
- Elastic: Colliding objects bounce off each other.
- Inelastic: Colliding objects stick together.
Gravitational Force
- A non-contact force of attraction between any two objects with mass.
- Strength depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.
- Weight (W) is the gravitational force on an object: W = mg
- Where g is gravitational acceleration (approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth).
- Gravity is a type of non-contact force.
Contact Forces
- Forces requiring physical contact between objects.
- Examples include friction, tension, and normal force, air resistance.
Non-Contact Forces
- Forces acting at a distance without physical contact.
- Examples include gravitational and magnetic forces, electrostatic force.
Normal Force
- A contact force exerted by a surface supporting an object's weight.
- Perpendicular to the surface.
Weight
- The gravitational force acting on an object's mass.
- Varies depending on the gravitational field strength.
Mass
- The amount of matter in an object.
- Constant regardless of location.
