May The Force Be With You
Newton's Laws of Motion
In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it.
In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration.
In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
Force is the push or pull on an object.
Some types of forces are
Applied Force
An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. If a person is pushing a desk across the room, then there is an applied force acting upon the object. The applied force is the force exerted on the desk by the person.
Gravitational Force.
The gravitational force on Earth is equal to the force the Earth exerts on you. At rest, on or near the surface of the Earth, the gravitational force equals your weight.
Normal Force.
The normal force is the support force exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object. For example, if a book is resting upon a surface, then the surface is exerting an upward force upon the book in order to support the weight of the book.
Frictional Force.
Frictional force refers to the force generated by two surfaces that contacts and slide against each other. A few factors affecting the frictional force: These forces are mainly affected by the surface texture and amount of force impelling them together.
Air Resistance Force.
Air resistance describes the forces that are in opposition to the relative motion of an object as it passes through the air. These drag forces act opposite to the oncoming flow velocity, thus slowing the object down.
Isaac Newton was a physicist, mathematician, and philosopher. Newton's theory of classical mechanics was one of the most important and influential achievements in science. He advanced the works of Galileo, Kepler, and Huygens and formulated his theories into three fundamental laws of motion. Newton's laws of motion are the basis of classical mechanics.
A newton (N) is the international unit of measure for force. One newton is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared.
In plain English, 1 newton of force is the force required to accelerate an object with a mass of 1 kilogram 1 meter per second per second.
