Document Summary

Examining forces: equilibrium: opposing forces are balanced, displacement: motion of a body when force is applied, force: a push or pull that produces displacement. Forces that affect body motion: gravity, muscles, other externally applied resistances, friction: resistance to movement between 2 objects in contact with one another. Newton"s third law: action- reaction: for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force, every time you hit the ground, the ground is hitting back with the same amount of force. Composition of forces: multiple forces on a body can be combined into a resultant vector, resultant force = simplest combination of force that produces the same effect as all forces acting on body, must be parallel or co-planar. Go through examples that we did in class. Mechanical principle ii: kinetics (applying forces as simple lever systems) Mechanical advantage: ration between the length of the force arm (ima) and the length of the resistance arm (ema)
