Dynamics Flashcards
It she study of the forces that cause objects and systems to move.
Dynamics
It the study of how forces affect the motion of objects.
Dynamics
• ________ is a push or pull that can be defined in terms of various standards, and it is a vector having both magnitude and direction
• ________ is a vector that adds just like other vectors
• _______ , like other vectors, are represented by arrows and can be added using the familiar ________ method or by _________ methods
Force
head-to-tail
trigonometric
__________ are forces where surfaces touches each other
Examples:
CONTACT FORCES
friction force, normal force, restoring force, and etc.
____________ are forces that are acting at a distance. Object’s surfaces don’t touches each other.
Examples:
NON-CONTACT FORCES
Gravitational force, magnetic force, electrical force
Effects of force on an object
• Force can set a stationary object im motion
• Can either stop or slow down a moving object
• Can change the direction of a moving object
• Can change the shape of an object by applying force
These laws are the foundation of dynamics
NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION
These laws provide an example of the breadth and simplicity of principles under which nature functions. They are also universal laws in that they apply to similar situations on Earth.
Newton’s Laws of Motion
It is the first law of motion
Law of Inertia
A body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.
Newton’s First Law of Motion
Rather than contradicting our experience, Newton’s first law of motion states that there must be a cause (which is a ________) for there to be any change in velocity (either a change in magnitude or direction).
Net external force
The property of a body to remain at rest or to remain in motion with constant velocity is called _______.
inertia
Newton’s first law is often called the ________.
law of inertia
_______ is a measure of the amount of “stuff” (or matter) in something. The quantity or amount of matter in an object is determined by the numbers of ______ and _______ of various types it contains
MASS
atoms and molecules
• The mass of an object is the same on Earth, in orbit, or on the surface of the Moon.
• Operationally, the masses of objects are determined by comparison with the standard _______.
kilogram
