Study Notes
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
- Newton was the first to discover the connection between force, mass, and acceleration.
- The acceleration produced by a net force on an object is directly proportional to the net force.
- The acceleration is in the same direction as the net force.
- The formula for Newton’s Second Law is: Acceleration = Net Force / Mass
- Doubling the net force doubles the acceleration.
- Doubling the mass cuts the acceleration in half.
- Doubling both the net force and the mass results in the same acceleration.
Friction Affects Motion
- Friction is a force that resists motion.
- Friction occurs between objects that touch, including solids, liquids, and gases.
- Friction acts in the opposite direction of motion.
Friction Force
- Friction force varies with different pulling strengths.
- When the pulling force is too small to move the object, friction equals the pull (Net Force = 0).
- As the pull is increased, friction increases the same (Net Force = 0).
- When the pulling force is greater than the friction (Net Force > 0), the object accelerates.
- Once the object is moving, the pull can be reduced until it matches the friction, and the object moves steadily (Net Force = 0).
Objects in Free Fall Have Equal Acceleration
- Objects in free fall experience equal acceleration.
