 Changing direction requires a force

 Force changing motion


 The unit use for measuring the forces is the
Newton (N)
 Forces appear when two object interact with
each other
 Force produce acceleration
 The mass of an object measure in kilogram,
tells you how much matter it is composed of
 Weight = the name given to the force of
gravity acting on an object with mass
 Weight = Mass x Gravity
 Object fall to the ground because they have
weight. And their weight cause by
gravitational field
 Terminal velocity
F =mxa
 The greater the mass of an object, the
smaller the acceleration it is given by a
particular force
 Momentum can be related with the force
effect
 The effect of a force F depends on two
things:
 1. how big the force is
 2. the time t it acts for

F.t = m.v – m.u


Where: F.t = Impulse
m.v = momentum
So, chenge of momentum = m.v – m.u
 Before the collition: the racket is moving to the
right; it has momentum. The ball is stationary, it has
no momentum.
 After the collition: the racket is moving to the right,
but more slowly than before. It has lost momentum.
The ball is moving rapidly to the right. It has gained
momentum.

 The total momentum before = the total momentum


after
 Force is a vector quantity because it has a
direction as well as a magnitude
 Adding/Resultan forces rules:
 Draw arrows end-to-end, so the end of one is the
start of the next
 Join the start of the first arrow to the end of the
last arrow to find the resultant
