Force
  1. Newton's Laws
    1. Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force (aka. inertia).
      1. The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.
        1. The second law explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force.
        2. Formulas
          1. Speed = distance / time
            1. net Force = mass x acceleration
              1. Acceleration = v - u / time
                1. Pressure = force / area
                  1. Density = mass / volume
                    1. Weight = mass x gravitational acceleration
                      1. (Hooke's Law) F = kx
                        1. Work Done = force x distance
                        2. Forces
                          1. SCALAR VS VECTOR
                            1. SCALAR quantities have magnitude only. (speed)
                              1. VECTOR quantities have magnitude and an associated direction. (velocity)
                              2. CONTACT VS NON CONTACT
                                1. contact forces - the objects are physically touching e.g. friction, air resistance or tention
                                  1. non-contact - the objects are physically separated e.g. gravitational force, electrostatic force or magnetic force
                                  2. RESULTANT FORCES
                                    1. resultant force = the total effect of all the different forces acting on an object
                                    2. WORK DONE AND ENERGY TRANSFER
                                      1. work is done when a force causes an object to move. the force causes a displacement
                                      2. GRAVITY
                                        1. weight is the force acting on an object due to gravity
                                          1. all matter has a gravitational field that causes attraction. the field strength is much greater for massive objects
                                        2. Elasticity
                                          1. SPRING CONSTANT
                                            1. stretching - when a spring is stretched, the force pulling it exceeds the force of the spring
                                              1. bending - when a shelf bends under the weight of too many books, the downward force is from the weight of the books, and the shelf is resisting this weight
                                                1. compressing - when a car goes over a bump in the road, the force upwards is opposed by the springs in the car's suspension
                                                2. ELASTIC DEFORMATION
                                                  1. Elastically deformed - stretched object that returns to it's original length after the force is removed
                                                  2. INELASTIC DEFORMATION
                                                    1. Inelastically deformed - stretched object that does not return to its original length after the force is removed
                                                  3. Stopping Distance
                                                    1. THINKING DISTANCE
                                                      1. distance travelled before the driver applies the brakes
                                                      2. BRAKING DISTANCE
                                                        1. distance a vehicle travels after the brakes have been applied
                                                      3. Displacement
                                                        1. VELOCITY
                                                          1. acceleration
                                                          2. DISTANCE
                                                            1. speed
