Chapter 2.6 Impulsive Force

Force
1.

A force is push or pull exerted on an object.

2.

Force is a vector quantity that has magnitude and direction.

3.

The unit of force is Newton ( or kgms-2).

Unbalanced Force/ Resultant Force

When the forces acting on an object are not balanced, there must be a net force
acting on it. The net force is known as the unbalanced force or the resultant
force.

When a force acts on an object, the effect can change the

size,
shape,
stationary state,
speed and
direction of the object.
__________________________________________________________
Newton's Second Law
The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the resultant
force acting on the body and is in the same direction.
Implication: When there is resultant force acting on an object, the object will
accelerate (moving faster, moving slower or change direction).

Formula of Force

From Newton's Second Law, we can derived the equation

(IMPORTANT: F Must be the net force)

Chapter 2.6 Impulsive Force

1.Example:f=ma
A box of mass 150kg is placed on a horizontal floor with a
smooth surface; find the acceleration of the box when a 300N
force is acting on the box horizontally.

_______________________________________________________________
2. Example: find a, F=ma
A object of mass 50kg is placed on a horizontal floor with a
smooth surface. If the velocity of the object changes from
stationary to 25.0 m/s in 5 seconds when is acted by a force,
find the magnitude of the force that is acting?

Impulsive Force

Example:Impulsive force
A car of mass 1000kg is traveling with a velocity of 25 m/s.
The car hits a street lamp and is stopped in0.05 seconds.
What is the impulsive force acting on the car during the crash?
