Summary A force is a push or a pull. A force is a push or a pull. Force is a vector. It has both magnitude and direction. Force is a vector. It has both magnitude and direction.
Its magnitude is measured in pounds or in newtons. Its magnitude is measured in pounds or in newtons. Newton's first law says that an object will remain at Newton's first law says that an object will remain at
rest or will continue to move in a straight line unless rest or will continue to move in a straight line unless it is acted on by a net force. it is acted on by a net force.
Unbalanced forces result in a net force acting on an Unbalanced forces result in a net force acting on an object. Balanced forces result in no net force acting object. Balanced forces result in no net force acting on an object. on an object.
If two forces act on an object and the forces act in a If two forces act on an object and the forces act in a straight line, the magnitude of the resultant is either straight line, the magnitude of the resultant is either the sum of or the difference between the two forces' the sum of or the difference between the two forces' magnitudes.magnitudes.
Summary (cont.) If two forces act on an object and the forces do not act in If two forces act on an object and the forces do not act in
a straight line, the resultant can be found using the head-a straight line, the resultant can be found using the head-to-tail method of vector addition. to-tail method of vector addition.
The mass of an object is a measure of the object's The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertia. The weight is a measure of the force exerted on inertia. The weight is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity. the object by gravity.
A torque is exerted on a body when a force is applied A torque is exerted on a body when a force is applied and the line of action of the force does not pass through and the line of action of the force does not pass through the body's axis of rotation. The torque equals the force the body's axis of rotation. The torque equals the force times the lever armtimes the lever arm
If no net torque is exerted on a body, it will remain at If no net torque is exerted on a body, it will remain at rest or will continue to rotate at a constant rate. rest or will continue to rotate at a constant rate.
