Chapter 10 Forces

Force and Net

Force
Force is a push or a
pull on an object.
Net force is the
total force on an
object.

Unbalanced Force
Balanced Force
Unbalanced Force

can cause an
object to move,
stop moving, or
change direction.

The balanced
forces are the
forces in equal
and opposite
directions.

Forces change
motion.

Can you
see the
unbalanced
force here?

Newtons First Law

Inertia

An object at rest
Greater mass
will stay at rest
means
unless acted upon by
an outside force.
Greater inertia
Inertia is every
objects resistance
to change its motion.

Newtons Second
Law
The acceleration of an object is
directly proportional to the net force
acting on the object and inversely
proportional to the objects mass.

Force=mass x acceleration
F=m x a
Or
a = Force/ mass
a = F/m

Equation for
Newton

Its the same

as the force
equation!

Newton=m x
a.

Force and mass

determine
acceleration.

Luke! Use the

mass times
the
acceleration!

Sometimes we might calculate

mass using Force and
Acceleration

Mass=Force/Acceleration
m=F/a

How much Force was required to

make a 2000kg car accelerate at
5m/s/s?
1. 400N
2. 0.001N
3. 10,000N

Force=Mass x acceleration
F=ma
F=2000kg x 5m/s/s
a= 10,000N or kgxm/s/s

If you drop a 15kg bowling ball

with a Force of 147N, what is its
acceleration?

1. 9.8m/s/s
2. 0.1m/s/s

A person throws a baseball at an

acceleration of 25m/s/s with
12.5N of Force. Whats the Mass
of the ball?
1. 312kg

4 Types of Friction
The 4 types of friction are:
1. Sliding friction (strongest)
2. Rolling friction
3. Fluid friction (weakest).
4. Static friction

2 Factors of Friction
1-Type of surface.
2-How hard the two
surfaces push
together.

Which type of hockey has

more friction?

Air Resistance
and Weight
Air resistance is a
type of fluid friction on
falling objects. Weight
is the force of gravity
on an object at the
surface of the Earth.

Law of Universal
Gravitation
Gravity acts between all
objects in the universe.

Gravity Between Objects

The force of gravity between objects
increases with greater mass and decreases
with greater distance.

Gravity is the
force that pulls
objects toward
the Earthacceleration
due to gravity
is 9.8m/s/s.

Newtons Third law

If an object exerts a force
on another object, the
second object, exerts an
equal force in the
opposite direction.

Momentum
The momentum of an object is the
product of its mass and velocity.
In other words:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Kg x m/s

COLLISIONS

Law of Conservation of
Momentum

The total momentum of

the objects that interact
does not change.
