Study Notes
Forces
- Electromagnetic force is the strongest force among the electromagnetic forces.
Spaceflight Effects
- Prolonged spaceflight can cause 'space anemia' in the human body, a significant effect.
Varicose Veins
- Varicose veins in the legs are caused by the buildup of blood pressure in the veins.
Material Properties
- The force that gives materials their strength and the ability to bend, squeeze, stretch, or shatter is an internal force.
Bone Effects
- One of the significant effects of long-term weightlessness on bones is a loss of bone density.
Equilibrium
- In a state of equilibrium, the sum of the forces in any direction is zero.
Inertia
- According to Newton's 1st Law of Motion, the role of inertia is to keep an object at rest or moving in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
Contact Forces
- Frictional force requires direct contact between two objects for it to act.
Force, Mass, and Acceleration
- Newton's 2nd Law relates force, mass, and acceleration by the formula F = ma.
Gravitational Force
- The fundamental force responsible for holding the moon in orbit around the Earth is gravity.
Action and Reaction
- According to Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Non-Contact Forces
- Electromagnetic forces and gravitational forces are types of forces that act through empty space and do not require physical contact.
