Key Topics to Revise
1
Introduction to Force
- Force is a push, pull, or hit applied to an object to change its state of motion or shape
- Force cannot be seen, tasted, or felt directly - we only observe its effects
- Force can change the magnitude of velocity (speed up or slow down an object)
2
Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
- Balanced forces: Equal forces acting in opposite directions on an object
- Balanced forces do not change the state of rest or motion of an object
- Unbalanced forces: When net force on an object is not zero
3
Newton's First Law of Motion
- Also known as the Law of Inertia
- Statement: An object remains in state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
- Galileo's experiment with inclined planes led to this understanding
4
Inertia and Mass
- Mass is the measure of inertia of an object
- Greater mass = greater inertia = more resistance to change in motion
- Heavier objects are harder to move from rest and harder to stop when moving
