1. The nature of forces
2. Force – what is it?3. Push or a pull3. Has a magnitude and direction3. SI unit is Newton (N)
4. Named after Sir Isaac Newton
2. Combining Forces
3. Net force – what is it?4. Combination of all forces
added together4. Determines which direction an
object moves 4. Determines if an object moves4. Must take in the direction
when adding them.
2. Unbalanced forces
3. Net force will cause an object to change the object’s velocity.
3. Examples4. People pushing a box4. Swing4. 4.
2. Balanced Forces
3. Forces acting on an object that do not cause a change in the velocity of that object.
3. Examples4. Two people pushing a box with equal force in opposite directions4. Balancing a book on your head.4.

Discuss Friction, Gravity, and Elastic Forces using Cornell Notes and Choice Strategies.
1. Various forces and laws
2. Friction – what is it?3. Force that two surfaces exert on each other when they rub against each other.3. Strength of the force depends on the type of surface and how hard they push together
2. Types of friction
3. Static friction4. Acts on objects that are not moving
3. Sliding friction4. Two solid surfaces slide over each other
3. Rolling friction4. When an object rolls across a surface
3. Fluid Friction4. Solid object moves through fluid
2. Gravity
3. A force that pulls objects toward each other3. Acts everywhere, not just Earth
4. Universal Law of Gravitation3. Force between the objects increases with greater mass and decreases with greater distance
2. Gravity and Motion
3. Free fall 4. The force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.
3. Air resistance4. Fluid friction that acts on objects falling through the air
3. Projectile 4. Any object that is thrown.
2. Elastic forces
3. Matter is considered elastic if it returns to its original shape after it is squeezed or stretched.
3. Compression 4. Elastic force that squeezes or pushes matter together
3. Tension4. An elastic force that stretches or pulls matter
2. Newton’s 1st law of motion3. An object will remain at rest or
moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force
3. Also called the Law of Inertia4. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist change in motion and depends on mass
2. Newton’s 2nd law of motion3. Acceleration depends on the
net force action on the object and on the object’s mass
3. Acceleration = Net force / Mass
2. Newton’s 3rd law of motion3. If one object exerts a force
on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object.
3. For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction
3. Action – reaction pairs
4. Jumping off the ground 5. Feet push off the ground = action
5. Ground pushes back with equal force = reaction
4. Others???

2. Momentum
3. Momentum = mass x velocity
3. SI units are kg x m/s3. Has a direction and
magnitude3. More momentum = harder to
change the velocity
2. Conservation of Momentum
3. Total momentum of any group of objects remains the same, or is conserved, unless outside forces act on the objects.
3. Can be transferred from one object to another
Forces can be added together only if they are
A.Acting on the same objectB.Balanced forcesC.Unaffected by gravityD.substantial
