Chapter 3 - Forces Flashcards
What are the things that need to take note of when drawing vector diagram?
Double Arrow for resultant force Single Arrow for balanced diagram SCALES ANGLES DIRECTION OF THE FORCE
What are the five forces acting on a moving car?
Force of the engine (Driving Force) Normal Reaction Force Weight Frictional Force Air resistance
What are the forces that is acting on a stationary car
Normal Reaction Force
Weight
Newton’s First Law of Motion
What happen to the object I f there is no resultant force acting on it
Object will continue its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line
What happen to the acceleration when the resultant force is zero?
There is no acceleration
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
When there is a resultant force acting on an object of a constant mass, what happen to the object?
The object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
For every action, ?
There will be an equal and opposite reaction
Force =
Mass x Acceleration
Three characteristics of Action and Reaction
They are equal in magnitude
They act on opposite direction
They act on different bodies
