Force and motion
Types of friction
Disadvantages of friction force
Walk/Write
Hold things
Drive/Stop a car
Advantages of friction force
Slow down movement
Noise
Heat
Different types of motion of the object gives rise to different types of friction. Generally, there are 4 types of friction. They are static friction, sliding friction, rolling friction, and fluid friction.
Moment of Force
What is a moment? = The Moment of a force is a measure of its tendency to cause a body to rotate about a specific point or axis.
Moment = Force x Distance or M = (F)(d)
Class of Levers
There are three types or classes of levers, according to where the load and effort are located with respect to the fulcrum. Class 1 has the fulcrum placed between the effort and load, Class 2 has the load in-between the effort and the fulcrum, and Class 3 has the effort between the load and the fulcrum.
Newton's Laws of Motion
First Law - Inertia
Object tend to stay in the same position.
Second Law - F=ma
Force is proportional to mass times acceleration.
Third Law - Action Reaction
Every force has an equal and opposite reaction force.
Buoyancy - Buoyancy force in liquids
When an object is placed in a fluid, the fluid exerts an upward force we call the buoyant force.Because the pressure increases as the depth increases, the pressure on the bottom of an object is always larger than the force on the top.
Who discovered buoyancy? = Achimedes
Density tells us if the object floats or sinks.
Buoyancy more than weight = float
Buoyancy equal to weight = hover
Buoyancy less than weight = sinks
Types of Motion
Motion = An objecr is in motion if it changes its position with time
Rest = An objecr is at rest if it does not change its position with time
Rest/Motion
Linear
Rectilinear
Curvilinear
Free fall
Projectile
Circular
Centrifugal force
Rotary
Oscilatory
