General Physics: Newton Law of Motion
General Physics: Newton Law of Motion
- “if an object is at rest. It will stay at rest, unless a net force acts on it.” & “if an object is in
motion. It will stay in motion, unless a net force acts on it.”
- F=ma
Frame of Reference
- Consists of an abstract coordinate system and the set of physical reference points that
uniquely fix the coordinate system and standardize measurements within that frame.
Electrical Force - The repulsive or attractive interaction between any two charged bodies is
called as electric force or electrostatic force. The electric force is one of the various forces that
act on objects.
Magnetic Force - It is the basic force responsible for such effects as the action of electric
motors and the attraction of magnets for iron.
Mass - The amount of matter present in any object or body. Everything we see around us has
mass.
Weight - The measure of the force of gravity on an object will never change, but the weight of
an item can change based on its location.
Force - is either a push or pull. A force is an external agent that is capable of changing the
state of rest or motion of an object.
Contact Forces - these forces act between the objects in close contact with each other. It acts
at the point of direct contact between two surfaces. Newton’s laws of motion govern contact
forces. 2 objects are touching.
Non-contact Forces
- These forces act between two bodies that are not physically touching each other.
Magnetic force -the force that arises from attraction or repulsion between the poles of a
magnet is called magnetic force.
Gravitational force – every object in this universe attracts every other object with force called
gravitational force.
Electrostatic force – the force of attraction or repulsion arising from the static charges present
in the body is called electrostatic force.
Fluid Resistance
- refers to the forces a fluid places on a moving object in the opposite direction, also known as
drag. Drag is the force created by a fluid to resist the motion of an object through it.
Work
Energy
- In physics, energy is the capacity to do work. It can be potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical,
chemical, nuclear, or in other forms. There is also heat and work—energy in the process of
being transferred from one body to another. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can
only be transformed from one form to another. This is known as the principle of energy
conservation or the first law of thermodynamics.
Work done by force
- The work done by a force is the product of displacement and the component of the object's
applied force in the displacement direction.
Potential Energy
- stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system. A spring
has more potential energy when it is compressed or stretched.
Kinetic Energy
- the energy of motion. Every moving object and particle have kinetic energy.
Energy Conservation
- A fundamental law of physics and chemistry stating that the total energy of an isolated
system is constant despite internal changes.
Power
- It is a measure of the rate at which work is done (or similarly, at which energy is transferred).
