Topics in Force and Motion

1

Force, Motion, and Balanced Forces

  • Force is a push or pull acting on an object.
  • Applying force can make an object move from rest, change its speed, change its direction, or change its shape.
  • Balanced forces do not change the state of rest or motion of an object.
2

Inertia, Mass, and Newton's First Law

  • Inertia is the tendency of objects to stay at rest or to keep moving with the same velocity.
  • Mass is a measure of inertia.
  • Massive objects resist changes in motion more than lighter objects.
3

Momentum and Newton's Second Law

  • Momentum depends on both mass and velocity.
  • The impact produced by an object depends on both its mass and velocity.
  • Momentum has both magnitude and direction, and its direction is the same as velocity.
4

Newton's Third Law and Conservation of Momentum

  • According to Newton's third law, to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
  • Action and reaction always act on two different bodies.
  • Action and reaction are simultaneous.

Key Concepts

Central concept: Force and Motion connects the causes of motion, Newton's laws, friction, momentum, conservation of momentum, thrust, and pressure.
