Newton's Law of Motion

1st Law

An object at rest will stay at rest,
an object in motion will stay in
motion
at constant velocity,
unless acted upon by unbalanced force.

Inertia

2nd Law

3rd Law

Types of Force

Free body diagram

Tension

FT

Inclines

Friction

Kinetic friction

Act on the opposite direction of the object's velocity

it depends on : 1. normal force between two surface. 2. the nature of two sliding surface (coefficient of static friction)

Static friction

Applies when two surfaces are at rest with respect to each other (such as a book sitting on a table)

Application

Push or pull

The skier

Unbalanced force on a body.
(causes acceleration)

F=ma

Every action has an equal
and opposite reaction.

They act on different objects
They are equal in magnitude
They are opposite in direction
They are forces of the same type

Eg: Rocket launch

Eg: Rocket launch

Forces acted on an object, all the forces can be added and represented as a single force, net force – resultant force.

Weight - force of gravity acting on object.

Drag -
'frictional force'
between
object and air

Upthrust - upwards force for
object placed in fluid.

Present when two solid
surfaces slide along each other.

Tension-
force in a rope
or string when
it is stretched.

Friction - force when two surfaces
rub over one another.

Normal -
force that is
perpendicular
to the surface that
an object contacts.
