Q

Change in motion

A

Set an object in motion: to kick a ball
Stop an object in motion: stop a moving ball
Speed up an object: to kick a slow moving ball
Slow down an object in motion: to slow down a fast moving ball
Make an object turn: hitting a ball with a raquet

Q

Direction

A

Forces are always exerted in a direction
The arrowhead point in the direction of the force:
———> this is the direction

Q

Contact forces

A

Contact forces only occur when two object are in physical contact with each other : the force one hand exerts shaking another hand

Q

Action at a distance forces

A

Action at a distance forces are interactions between objects that are not in physical contact with each other : the force a magnet exerts on an iron ball

Q

Inertia

A

Inertia is the tendency of objects to resist a change in their motion

17
Q

An object the at rest

A

An object is said to be at rest if it does not change its position with respect to its surroundings with time.

18
Q

An object in equilibrium

A

An object in equilibrium is if all the object acting on it are balanced so that the net force is zero

19
Q

Friction

A

As an object moves across a surface it causes friction. The friction force opposes the objects motion Example: A book sliding on the table, a ball rolling on the floor.

20
Q

Normal force

A

is the force that supports the weight of an object on a surface, acts in the opposite direction of gravity. Most often, we see this with objects at rest on a horizontal surface, like a book on a table or someone standing on a floor

21
Q

Tension

A

Tension force. A force that is transmitted through a string, rope, cable or wire when it is pulled tightly Example- A cable car or climbing a mountain using a rope.

22
Q

A motionless object is always — but an object in equilibrium is not necessarily —

A

In equilibrium, at rest

23
Q

The unit of mesure of force is the —

A

Newton (N)

24
Q

Weight

A

The weight of an object on Earth is equal to the pull of gravity with which the earth attracts it.
