Note Taking Worksheet Forces

This document discusses Newton's laws of motion and forces. It covers Newton's second law, which connects force, mass and acceleration. It also discusses friction, air resistance, gravity, projectiles, and Newton's third law of action and reaction. Key points include how greater force leads to greater acceleration, Newton's equation relating force, mass and acceleration, and how gravity causes all objects to fall with the same acceleration regardless of mass.

Forces
Section 1 Newton’s Second Law
A. Force and motion are connected.
1. An object will have greater acceleration if a
greater force is applied to it.
2. The mass of an object and the force applied to it
affect acceleration
Section 1 Newton’s Second Law
B. Newton’s second law of motion connects
force, mass and acceleration in the equation
acceleration equals net force divided by mass.
Section 1 Newton’s Second Law
• C. Friction---force that opposes motion between
two surfaces that are touching each other.
1. Microwelds areas where surface bumpers stick
together are the source of friction.
2. Friction between two surfaces that are not moving
past each other is called static friction.
3. Sliding friction – force that opposes the motion of
two surfaces sliding past each other.
4. Friction between a rolling object and the surface it
rolls on is called rolling friction.
Section 1 Newton’s Second Law
• D. Air resistance opposes the motion of
objects that move through the air.
1. The amount of air resistance depends on an
object’s shape, size and speed.
2. Terminal velocity —forces on a falling object are
balanced and the object falls with constant
speed.
Section 2 Gravity
• A. Law of gravitation—any two masses exert
an attractive force on each other.
1. Gravity is on e of the four basic forces that
also include the electromagnetic force, the
strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear
force.
2. Gravity is a long range force that gives the
universe its structure.
Section 2 Gravity
• B. Due to inertia all objects fall with the same
acceleration regardless of mass.
Section 2 Gravity
• C. Weight—gravitational force exerted on an
object.
1. Weight decreases as an object moves away from
Earth.
2. Weight results from a force; mass is a measure of
how much matter an object contains.
Section 2 Gravity
• D. Objects in the space shuttle float because
they have no force supporting them.
Section 2 Gravity
• E. Projectiles have horizontal and vertical
velocities due to gravity and follow a curved
path.
Section 2 Gravity
• F. Acceleration toward the center of a curved
path is called centripetal acceleration; it is
caused by centripetal force andunbalanced
force.
Section 3 The third law of motion.
• A. Newton’s third law of motion—to every
action force there is an equal and opposite
reaction force.
1. Action reaction forces act on different objects
and differ from balanced forces.
2. Rocket propulsion is based on Newton’s third law
of motion.
Section 3 The third law of motion.
• B. Before it was discovered, the existence of
the planet Neptune was predicted based on
gravitational forces and Newton’s laws.
Section 3 The third law of motion.
• C. Momentum—related to how much force is
needed to change an object’s motion;
momentum equal mass times velocity.
Section 3 The third law of motion.
• D. Law of conservation of momentum—
momentum can be transferred between
objects; momentum is not lost or gained in
the transfer.
