forces Flashcards
6 examples of scaler quantities
mass temperature speed energy distance time
what is scaler and vector
scaler-just magnitude no distance
vector-magnitude and distance
name 6 vector quantities
displacement weight force velocity acceleration momentum
what is a force
A force is a push or pull that acts on an object due to the interaction with another object
is force vector or scaler
vector
name contact forces
tension,friction,air resistance
normal contact force-(lamp) the lump is exerting a downward force on the table which is the weight 
name non contact force
gravitational force,electrostatic force,magnetic force
what is the weight of an object
The weight of an object is the force acting on it due to gravity
newtons
what is weight equation
weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg)
what is the centre of mass
The weight of an object can be considered to act a singular point
