L18 Flashcards
A force involves
The interaction of two objects and can produce a change in the state of motion of an object by pushing or pulling it
F= mass x accel
Newtons:
1N= amount of force it takes to accelerate a 1kg body at 1m/s squared
-represented as a ratio of force to body weight= %BW
Point of application
The specific point at which the force is applied to an object
Line of Action
A straight line in the direction in which the force is acting
Newtons First Law
Law of inertia
-a body will remain at rest or continue to move with a constant velocity unless acted on by an outside force
Increase mass= increase inertia
Inertia is used
To describe an objects resistance to motion and is directly related to the mass of the object
Increase mass= increase inertia
Newtons Second Law
Law of acceleration
-net force= mass x acceleration
Newtons 3rd Law
Action/ reaction
-for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
-forces always act in pairs
-these paired forces are equal and opposite
Momentum
Designated to P
-the quantity of motion of an object
P= m x velocity
