Document Summary

Friction and newton"s 1st law- an object will remain in motion (or at rest) if no other forces act on it, but in the real world, friction almost always acts on moving objects. Newton"s 2nd law- , where f is force and m is mass. Newton"s 3rd law- every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Objects in equilibrium- the sum of all forces is zero. Example- an astronaut has a mass of 70 kg on earth. When he has been in space for a while, his force is 130 n and is accelerated to 2 m/s2. Elevator example- accelerates upward( which we are choosing as the positive direction) at 1 m/ Dynamics- study of the forces that cause objects and systems to move. Force- a push or a pull on an object that has both direction and magnitude (a vector quantity) Free-body-diagram- a technique used to illustrate all the external forces acting on a body.
