Document Summary

What is a force: 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. Isaac newton"s 3 laws: objects (like the soccer ball) don"t want to be accelerated because objects possess inertia, the force required to accelerate an object is proportional to its mass f= m x a. Force and acceleration has a direction and a magnitude making them vectors mass only has a magnitude (kg) making it a scaler. Scaler"s only have 1 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. Basketball in hand: force has a line of action, draw las the dotted line below. Center of mass: gravity is a body force.
