Q

what are the 3 characteristics of force?

A
  1. ITS MAGNITUDE
  2. THE POSITION OF ITS LINE OF ACTION
  3. THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THE FORCE ACTS ALONG ITS LINE OF ACTION
21
Q

If the resultant force acting on a particle is zero, the particle will remain at rest (if originally at rest) or will move at a constant speed in a straight line (if originally in motion)

A

NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION:
LAW OF INERTIA

22
Q

If the resultant force acting on a particle is not zero, the particle will have an acceleration proportional to the magnitude of the resultant and in the direction of this resultant force

A

NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION:
LAW OF ACCELERATION

23
Q

The forces of action and reaction between bodies in contact have the same magnitude, same line of action, and opposite sense

A

NEWTON’S THIRD LAW OF MOTION:
LAW OF ACTION AND REACTION

24
Q

This states that two particles of mass M and m mutually attracted with equal and opposite forces F and -F of magnitude F.

A

NEWTON’S LAW OF GRAVITATION

25
Q

what is the formula for Newton’s Law of Gravitation?

A

F = (G) m1 m2 / r^2

26
Q

what is the universal constant of gravitation?

A

G = 66.73 (10^-12) m^3 / kg (s^2)

27
Q

This states that two forces acting on a particle may be replaced by a single force, called their resultant, obtained by drawing the diagonal of the parallelogram which has sides equal to the given forces.

A

PARALLELOGRAM LAW FOR ADDITION

28
Q

this states that if there are two forces which are congregation or transient through a point then the third or enclosing side of a triangle is such that

A

TRIANGLE LAW or TRIANGULAR LAW OF FORCES

29
Q

law of cosines

A

> a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc(cos)a
b^2 = c^2 + a^2 - 2ca(cos)b
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab(cos)c

30
Q

this states that the conditions of equilibrium or of motion of a rigid body will remain unchanged if a force acting at a given point of the rigid body is replaced by a force of the same magnitude and same direction, but acting at a different point, provided that the two forces have the same line of action.
