Newton`s Laws/ Simple Machine Notes
... Velocity (v) – includes speed of an object and the direction of its motion Q: what is the difference between speed and velocity? A: Velocity includes directions where speed does NOT. Acceleration (a)- rate of change of velocity Acceleration occurs when an object changes speed, its direction, or both ...

What are Forces?
... What are forces? • A force is a push or a pull. • We learned that Newton’s 2nd Law states that a Force is equal to the mass of a moving object times its acceleration. • We learned that Newton’s 3rd Law states that for every force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. ...

The Nature of Force
... Do Action-Reaction Forces Cancel? Newton’s third law refers to forces on two different objects. Example: Soccerball If one player hits the ball – force is upward. The ball exerts an equal but opposite downward force on the player. The action and reaction forces are acting on different objects a ...

... centrifugal force pulls outward on the can, BUT… when the string breaks the can goes off in a tangent straight-line path because no force acts on it. So when you swing an object around, there is actually no force pulling it outward. When the string breaks (centripetal force stops) the object’s inert ...

Motion and Forces
... Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion In other words, force and motion are related: 1. The rate of acceleration is determined by the size of the force and the mass of the object. 2. An object will have greater acceleration if a greater force is applied to it. 3. An object with less mass will accelerate ...
