Study Notes
Force
- Force is a push or pull, present in many actions.
- Four types: applied, normal, gravitational, and friction.
Applied Force
- Applied force is the force you apply to an object (e.g., dribbling a ball, pushing a cart).
Normal Force
- Normal force is a perpendicular force exerted by a surface on an object to prevent it from falling or moving through the surface (e.g., table supporting a book, court making a ball bounce).
Gravitational Force
- Gravitational force pulls objects towards the Earth.
- Essential for maintaining the solar system and atmosphere.
- Keeps objects on the ground.
Friction
- Friction opposes motion between surfaces in contact.
- Four types: static, sliding, rolling, and fluid.
Static Friction
- Prevents an object from moving when force is applied.
- Ex: Pushing a stationary block.
Sliding Friction
- Resists motion during sliding.
- Also known as kinetic friction.
- Ex: A child sliding down a slide.
Rolling Friction
- Resists motion during rolling.
- Ex: A basketball rolling on the court.
Fluid Friction
- Resists motion through a liquid or gas.
- Also known as viscous drag.
- Ex: Swimming.
Newton's Laws of Motion
Newton's First Law (Inertia)
- A body remains at rest or in constant motion unless a force acts upon it.
- Ex: A ball rolling on a field will continue unless kicked.
Newton's Second Law (F=ma)
- Force equals mass times acceleration.
- Formula for calculating net force.
- Unit of force is the Newton (N).
Newton's Third Law (Action-Reaction)
- For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Ex: When you dribble a ball, it exerts an equal and opposite force back on your hand.
Energy
- Energy enables work.
- Nine main types: potential, kinetic, mechanical, chemical, thermal, electrical, radiant, sound, and nuclear.
Potential Energy
- Stored energy.
- Ex: Lifting a hammer.
Kinetic Energy
- Energy of motion.
- Ex: A hammer about to hit a nail.
Mechanical Energy
- Sum of potential and kinetic energy.
- Ex: A hammer already hitting a nail.
- Potential = Future Tense (stored energy)
- Kinetic = Present Tense (motion energy)
- Mechanical = Past Tense (work has already been done)
Chemical Energy
- Energy stored in chemical bonds.
- Released during chemical reactions.
- Ex: Combustion (fire).
Thermal Energy
- Associated with heat.
- Temperature rise causes faster molecular movement.
- Three transfer methods: conduction, convection, radiation.
Conduction
- Heat transfer through direct contact.
- Ex: Stirring hot coffee with a metal spoon.
Convection
- Heat transfer through fluid movement (liquid or gas).
- Ex (not given in text): Hot air rising.
Radiation
- Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves.
- Ex (not given in text): Heat from the sun.
