    Study Notes

    What is Force?

    • Force is defined as a push or pull on an object
    • It has magnitude (size) and direction
    • Multiple forces can act on an object simultaneously
    • Symbol for force is "F"
    • Unit for force is Newton (N)

    Common Forces

    • Gravitational Force (FG): Acts on objects with mass, directed towards the Earth's center
    • Friction Force (FF): Resistive force that opposes motion or desired motion, dependent on the surfaces involved
    • Normal Force (FN): Perpendicular force that responds to contact force, like a surface pushing up on an object
    • Tension Force (FT): Force from a rope, cable, etc., pulling only, not pushing
    • Buoyancy Force (FB)-: Upwards force on an object submerged in a fluid, equal to the weight of the displaced fluid
    • Water/Air Resistance (FDrag): Opposes the motion of an object, dependent on fluid viscosity and object's area
    • Spring Force (FSp): Force that opposes compression or stretching of a spring
    • Applied Force (FApplied): Any external force that's not specifically described

    Free Body Diagram

    • Illustrates forces acting on an object
    • Each force is drawn as an arrow originating from the object
    • Arrow length represents force strength

    Newton's Laws of Motion

    • First Law: An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.
    • Second Law: Acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied and inversely proportional to its mass; the equation is F = ma.
    • Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    Equilibrium

    • Occurs when all forces acting on an object are balanced.
    • The sum of all forces is zero.
    • Results in no acceleration and constant velocity.

    Newton's Second Law of Motion - Practice Problems

    • A truck with a mass of 1500 kg accelerating at -5 m/s² requires a force of -7500 N; the negative sign indicates it is in the opposite direction of motion.
    • A ball hit with 500 N, accelerating at 2500 m/s², has a mass of 0.20 kg.
    • A 10-kg cart pulled with 30 N accelerates at 3 m/s².
    • If the cart starts from rest and accelerates at 3 m/s² for 5 seconds, its velocity after 5 seconds would be 15 m/s.

    Newton's Third Law of Motion

    • For every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.

    Action/Reaction Forces

    • When identifying one object applying a force on another (action), identify the equal and opposite reaction. Examples include:
      • Windshield applying force to a bug / Bug applying force on the windshield
      • Student pushing down on Earth / Earth pushing up on the student
      • Bat hitting a ball / Ball hitting a bat
      • Rocket pushes gasses out the bottom / Gasses push up on the rocket

    Content-Based Questions

    • Questions focus on historical origins, ideological principles, basic practices, similarities, differences, and the transmission of ideas.
    • Questions pertain to belief systems X and Y.

    Analytical Questions

    • Questions investigate differences and similarities between belief systems, their historical impacts, and their spread.
    • Questions require references to at least two belief systems.
    • Questions require comparison and analysis.

    Content-Based Questions

    • Historical Origins: Explore the origins of each belief system, including their foundational events, key figures, and geographical locations.
    • Ideological Principles: Outline the core tenets, beliefs, and values that underpin each belief system.
    • Basic Practices: Summarize the rituals, ceremonies, and daily routines that adherents engage in based on their beliefs.
    • Similarities: Identify two areas of commonality between belief systems, such as shared values, concepts, or practices.
    • Differences: Identify two areas of divergence between belief systems, such as contrasting doctrines, interpretations, or rituals.
    • Transmission and Spread: Analyze how each belief system utilizes storytelling, art, and other forms of cultural expression to transmit ideas and spread their influence.

    Analytical Questions

    • Comparison and Contrast: For each of the options (origins, ideological principles, practices, spread), compare and contrast the chosen belief systems, highlighting their unique characteristics and areas of overlap.
    • Similarity vs. Difference: Evaluate the statement, considering the similarities and differences between at least two belief systems. Provide evidence to support your stance.
    • Historical Influence: Analyze how specific historical societies and events have shaped or been impacted by at least two of the belief systems studied, providing examples of interactions.
