Title: A force is any push or pull on an object.


1
A force is any push or pull on an object.
  • The units for force are Newtons (N) they are
    equal to a kg m/s2.
  • F ma
  • Weight is equal to mass times acceleration of
    gravity.
  • Fg mg
  • Mass is measured in kg and does not change as
    height changes. Weight does get less as you move
    away from the center of Earth.

Isaac Newton
  • Newtons 3 laws
  • 1st Law of Inertia An object at rest will
    stay at rest, an object in motion will stay in
    motion, unless acted upon by an outside force.
  • 2nd F ma An object will accelerate in the
    presence of an unbalanced force. The larger the
    mass the smaller the acceleration.
  • 3rd For every action there is an equal and
    opposite reaction.
