Topics in How Forces Affect Motion

1

1. Concept of Force

  • Force can make an object move from rest.
  • Force can change the speed of a moving object.
  • Force can change the direction of motion.
2

2. Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

  • When two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the same object, they are balanced forces.
  • Balanced forces give zero net force.
  • If net force is zero, acceleration is zero.
3

3. Friction and Motion

  • Friction acts opposite to the direction of motion.
  • Friction opposes the applied force when a box is pushed.
  • Air exerts friction on moving objects, but its magnitude is often negligible.
4

4. Newton's First Law of Motion and Inertia

  • Newton's first law says an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion continues with constant velocity unless a net force acts on it.
  • Constant velocity means no change in speed or direction.
  • If net force is zero, acceleration is zero.

Key Concepts
