Forces and Motion SSA Review

A force is a push or a pull. They are measures in Newtons (N).

They can be classified as a contact force or a non-contact force.

Notes: What is a force?

Practice changing the forces making them balanced and
unbalanced. Notice what happens to the direction of the forces.

Math plays a big part in this.

Net Force is the total of all of the forces
working on an object.

Same Direction=Add

Opposite Directions=Subtract

Notes: How do we measure forces?

That’s called a balanced force.

Balanced Forces will NOT cause a change in the motion of
an object.

Some are static, and will not move.

Some will be in a state of constant motion, aka: not
changing speed or direction.

Objects will move towards the greater force

Notes: What happens if the net force is 0?

That’s called an unbalanced force.

Unbalanced Forces WILL cause a change in
the motion and/or direction of an object.

Objects will move in the direction of the
greater force.

Notes: What happens if the net force is NOT 0?
