Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that an unbalanced force F will cause an object of mass m to accelerate a, represented by the equation F = ma. The document also discusses torque, momentum, work, and energy. Torque is represented by T = Iα, where T is torque, I is moment of inertia, and α is angular acceleration. Momentum is represented by p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity. Work is the product of a force and displacement, represented by W = Fs, where W is work, F is force, and s is displacement. Energy is the ability to do work and has the same units as work, such as joules and kil

Newton's Second Law of Motion

An unbalanced force F will cause an object of mass m to accelerate a, according to:


F = ma (Imperial F = wg a, where w is weight)
Torque Equation
T = I where T is the acceleration torque in Nm, I is the moment of inertia in kg m2 and
is the angular acceleration in radians/s2
Momentum
Vector quantity, symbol p,
p = mv (Imperial p = wg v, where w is weight)
in SI unit is kgms
Work
Scalar quantity, equal to the (vector) product of a force and the displacement of an object. In
simple systems, where W is work, F force and s distance
W = Fs
In SI the unit of work is the joule, J, or kilojoule, kJ
1 J = 1 Nm
In Imperial the unit of work is the ft-lb
Energy
Energy is the ability to do work, the units are the same as for work; J, kJ, and ft-lb
