Gravity

Gravity acting on a mass is a force


The force of gravity keeps us on earth
Gravitational pull is a force
Weight

Weight is calculated by mass and gravity


Weight = mass x gravity
Weight is the force of gravity on a mass
Weight is measured in newtons
Friction
The resistance of an object to move when moving over another
Friction

Resistance between two surfaces that are in contact with each other
The force that slows you down!
The smoother the surface, the less friction there is
Air Resistance
The force of air pushing up against things that are moving
Normal Force

Force of Friction

Normal Force
Newtons Laws of Motion

1. An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in
motion unless an unbalanced outside force acts upon it.
2. The acceleration produced by a force is directly related to the force.
3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Inertia vs Momentum

Inertia Momentum

An objects resistance to A moving objects tendency to


motion continue moving
Relies on mass Relies on mass and velocity
The bigger the object, the
bigger its inertia
