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
