What is a force?

A force is simply a push or pull.


Forces have both size and direction.

5

Net Force

A net force is the resultant force as a result of two or more combined forces.

6

Some Tips For Calculating Net Forces

  • Forces in the same direction ADD.

  • Forces in opposite directions SUBTRACT

Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

  • Balanced: When the net force on an object is equal to zero. This hence does not cause any change in motion.

  • Unbalanced: When the net force on an object is not equal to zero. This therefore causes change in motion.

What is Motion?

When an object changes position with time with respect to a reference point, we say that the object is in MOTION.

14

Speed

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with time.

The formula for speed is

 Speed = Distance travelled Time takenSpeed\ =\ \frac{Dis\tan ce\ travelled\ }{Time\ taken}  

15

Let's work on these questions

1) 5 m/s

2) 0.002 km/s or 2 m/s

3) 10 s

4) 1000 m

5) 500 s

16

Velocity

Velocity is defined as the displacement of an object per unit time.

It is basically speed in a direction

 Velocity = DisplacementTimeVelocity\ =\ \frac{Displacement}{Time}  

17

Let's look at these questions

1) 30 m

2) by changing direction, by changing covering the same distance in less time or by covering less distance in the same time.

3) No, because the direction is constantly changing and hence velocity is changing.

4) No, they are not going in the same direction.

18

Acceleration

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time.

 acceleration = change in velocitytimeacceleration\ =\ \frac{change\ in\ velocity}{time}  

 acceleration = final velocity  initial velocitytimeacceleration\ =\ \frac{final\ velocity\ -\ initial\ velocity}{time}

Newton's Law of inertia

  • Mass (m) is the measure of amount of matter in an object.

  • Inertia is the property of an object which describes how much it will resist change in motion of the object.

  • The greater the mass of an object, the greater the inertia.

24

What is this unbalanced, opposing force to motion?

FRICTION!!!!!!!

There are four types of Friction.

  • Sliding friction- ice skating

  • Rolling friction- bowling

  • Fluid friction (air or liquids) - air resistance

  • Static friction- initial friction when moving an object at rest.
