What to Focus On

  • Force can start motion, stop motion, change speed, change direction, and change shape.
  • Force must be specified by both magnitude and direction.
  • The SI unit of force is newton (N).
  • Balanced forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
  • Unbalanced forces are unequal opposite forces.
  • Net force is the single force that has the same effect as all forces together.
  • Friction opposes motion between surfaces in contact.
  • A box starts moving only when applied force exceeds friction.
  • Air friction is often negligible in many cases.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If an object is moving, a force must be acting on it in the same direction as its motion.

Balanced forces and Newton's third law force pairs are the same thing.

If two forces are equal in magnitude, they always produce equal acceleration.

Memory Tips

Force can change motion and shape

Force needs magnitude and direction

SI unit of force is newton, symbol N

Spring balance measures force
