The document provides an overview of key physics concepts including formulas for constant velocity, velocity, and displacement. It defines important terms like position, speed, velocity, acceleration, mass, weight, and force. Key physics principles covered are Newton's Laws of Motion, including Newton's Second Law that force equals mass times acceleration. It also discusses different types of forces including gravitational, electromagnetic, nuclear, friction, and normal contact forces.

x = v(t) + xo Four Formulas For Physics Position = speed(time) + starting position x = v(t) + xo Velocity = acceleration(time) + starting velocity v = a(t) + vo Velocity2 = (starting velocity)2 + 2(acceleration)(delta x) v2 = v20 + 2a(delta x) Delta x = starting velocity * time + ()(acceleration)(time)2 Delta x = vot + (1/2)at2 Newtons Laws of Motion An object in motion stays in motion in a straight line and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced outside force. Inertia- the tendency of an object to keep doing what its doing Most Important Physics Formula is Newtons 2nd law of motion: Force = mass * acceleration Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts and equal and opposite force back on the first object. OR For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Important Physics Vocabulary Frame of value- a reference point (usually 0) Mass-amount of matter in an object (g/kg) Weight-the force of gravity on an object Equilibrium-when the total force is zero (constant velocity and the acceleration is zero. Significance of Slope in Physics-tells us speed of the graph, for a position-time graph Speed- how fast something goes Velocity- speed but with direction Acceleration- how quickly an object changes its velocity (+ or tells the direction of the acceleration) To get faster, acceleration & velocity have the same signs To get slower, acceleration & velocity have different signs Deceleration- slowing down, type of acceleration or when a & v have different signs
Acceleration due to gravity- ball bouncing because of gravity, acceleration is always
negative because of gravity pulling it down (-) up (+) 3 Ways to Accelerate -Get Faster -Get Slower -Change Direction Force- an interaction between two objects that results in a push or a pull Types of Forces: Ranged: Gravitational Force- acts on all matter; always attracts Electromagnetic force- protons, neutrons, electrons, responsible for magnets, electricity and chemical reactions Strong nuclear force- holds nucleus together Weak nuclear force- tries to rip apart the nucleus Contact: Friction-force that slows motion Normal forces-Ex: you sitting on a chair; you push down on chair and chair pushes up on you ** Newtons 3rd law Tension-Ex: tug of war
