Document Summary

What is a (cid:858)for(cid:272)e(cid:859): physics definition, a force is an action that causes mass to be accelerated, common definition, a push or pull, a rub or pressure, a blow or impact, gravity. Mass and acceleration: mass is not a vector, it is a scalar, so it has only one property, mass has a magnitude measured in kilograms (kg) Mass, weight and gravity: the amount of matter that makes up an object is its mass. Newtons (n) or pounds (lbs) in the imperial system: mass and weight are not the same thing. Center of mass: gravity is a body force. Let(cid:859)s say (cid:449)e drop a (cid:271)all (cid:894)(cid:1007)n(cid:895) do(cid:449)(cid:374)(cid:449)ards, (cid:271)ut (cid:449)e(cid:859)re droppi(cid:374)g it i(cid:374)to a stro(cid:374)g (cid:272)ross(cid:449)i(cid:374)ds (cid:894)9n(cid:895) to the side: you draw a rectangle with a diagonal line crossing through, you use pythagorean theorem. /(3^2 + 9^2) = 9. 48n: the direction is tan(inverse) (3/9) = 18 degrees.
