The document discusses the basic concepts of force and motion. It defines a force as a push or pull and explains balanced and unbalanced forces. It then summarizes Newton's Three Laws of Motion - an object at rest stays at rest unless a force acts on it, force equals mass times acceleration, and for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The document also discusses friction, gravity, and how gravity depends on mass and distance from the object's center.

Force and Motion
Physical Science Forces and Motion
Forces can create
changes in motion (acceleration or deceleration). Definition of a Force
A force is a push or a pull. Balanced Force
A force that produces no change in an object’s motion because it is balanced by an equal yet opposite force. Unbalanced Forces Are forces that result in an + object’s motion being changed. Motion can be described as: A change in an object’s position. Newton’s 1ST Law of Motion 1st Laws States that an Ex. This law explains why object at rest will remain at you fly forward in a car rest and an object in motion when someone slams on will remain in motion, the brakes. Because of unless an outside force acts Inertia, your body wants to on it (such as friction). This keep moving at the same law is also called the LAW speed as the car. OF INERTIA. Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion 2nd Law States that a Ex. This law force on an object will explains why a golf move the object in the direction of the force. ball will roll in the The relationship direction of a force between force, mass applied to it. and acceleration is summarized by the formula: f = ma Q: The frog leaps from its resting position at the lake’s bank onto a lily pad. If the frog has a mass of 0.5 kg and the acceleration of the leap is 3 m/s2, what is the force the frog exerts on the lake’s bank when leaping?
(A) 0.2 N (B) 0.8 N (C) 1.5 N (D) 6.0 N
Formula chart says F=ma, m is mass
in kg, a is acceleration in m/s2. So, .5 kg x 3 m/s2= 1.5 N Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion 3rd Law States that for every action there is an equal but opposite action. Ex. A skater pushes back on the skates but the skater moves forward. THESE LAWS EXPLAIN ALL MOTION Q: The hands of a swimmer pushing backward against water represent an action force. What is the reaction force? A. The swimmer’s body moving forward? B. The water pushing against the swimmer’s hands C. The swimmer’s body pushing against the water. D. The water moving backward from the swimmer. Friction
A force that opposes, or works
against, motion of two objects that are touching. Friction • Friction causes an object to slow down and stop. • Since the amount of energy stays constant, the energy becomes heat. Universal Law of Gravity
All objects in the universe attract each other by the force of gravity. Universal Law of Gravity
Gravity varies depending
on two factors: 1) the mass of the object doing the pulling, and 2) the distance from the center of that object On Earth gravity = 9.8 m/s/s
For every second that an object falls its speed increases by 9.8 m/s
