why?

The question is
Why does
everything in
the universe
move?

The answer

Big, huge, massive forces!

And little ones too.

Forces PG 39
A force is a pull (an attraction)

Or, a push (a repulsion)

Forces PG 39
1. All forces have two properties:
a)Direction
b)Size
2. A newton (N) is the unit that describes the size
of a force and is equal to 1kg X m/s2

Newtons Laws of Motion

Newton lived from 1642
1727
Law #1 An object in motion
stays in motion and an object
at rest stays at rest unless
acted upon by an unbalanced
force
Law #2 Force equals mass
times acceleration (F = ma)
Law #3 For every action there

Newtons First Law

An object in motion stays in
motion and an object at rest
stays at rest unless acted
upon by an unbalanced force

What does this mean?

An object will keep doing
what its doing UNLESS
acted on by an
unbalanced force like
friction
If it is moving at a
constant velocity it will
continue

Belts

Dont let this be you

Due to inertia, objects (including you) resist
changes in their motion. When you and the car going
80 km/hour is stopped by the brick wall, your body
keeps moving at 80 km/hour

Net Force (Resultant Force)

An object with a net force of anything other
than 0 N on it will change its state of
motion.

Forces in the Same Direction

When forces are applied in the same

direction, they are added to determine the
size

Forces in Different Directions

When two forces act in opposite directions, you subtract

the smaller force from the larger force to determine the
net force
The net force will be in the same direction as the larger

Balanced ForcesPage 39 (noteboo

Balanced forces cancel each other out!

They are forces that are equal in size and
opposite in direction

IS THERE MOTION? OR FORCE? EXTERNAL
