What to Focus On

  • Force is a push or pull.
  • Force can change state, size, or shape.
  • Contact forces need physical contact.

  • Dyne is the CGS unit of force.
  • Newton is the SI unit of force.
  • 1 N = 10^5 dyne.

  • First law is the law of inertia.
  • Second law connects force and momentum.
  • F = ma is the most used form of the second law.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Centrifugal force is the reaction force of centripetal force.

Circular motion is not accelerated motion because speed remains constant.

A body in equilibrium must always be at rest.
