Q

Resultant force=..?
Can cause….
• if result force = 0 then…?
• result force isn’t 0 then…?

If 2 forces act on an object along same line the resultant force = the sum of the forces if same direction/ difference if in opposite directions!

A

Resultant force =a single force that has the same effect on the motion as all the original forces acting together

Can cause a change in an object’s state of rest or motion

0- then object stays at rest or at constant speed

Not 0- then velocity of object will change

Q

What can forces do?
Unit of force = Newtons (N)

What happens when two objects interact?

A

Forces can change the shape of an object, change it’s motion, or it’s state of rest

• when they interact they always exert equal and opposite forces on each other!!!

Q

Resultant force!!!
• Bigger it is the greater the acceleration of the object
•greater the mass of the object the smaller it’s acceleration for a given force!
• resultant force equation??

A
Resultant force (N)
=mass(kg) x acc(m/s^2)
