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
