1. The amount by which the forces acting on an object are unbalanced is called the net force. 2. When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate. Because acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity includes both speed and direction, a net force will change the speed and/or the direction of an object's motion. 3. Newton's 2nd Law: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, a Fnet , and 1 inversely proportional to its mass, a . While this relationship is usually expressed as m Fnet dependent variable, a, to Fnet ma, we prefer to use a because it more explicitly relates the m the independent variables responsible for any change. 4. Force is measured in units of newtons. A one newton net force acting on a one-kilogram object produces an acceleration of 1 m/s2. Therefore, a newton is the same as a kilogrammeter/second2. (N = kgm/s2) 5. Use Newton's 2nd Law to qualitatively describe the relationship between m and a, F and a, m and F. (For example, if you double the mass, the acceleration will be ½ as great.) 6. Solve quantitative problems involving forces, mass and acceleration using Newton's 2nd Law. a. use force diagram analysis to find the net (unbalanced) amount of force. b. list known and unknown force and motion variables: force variables acceleration mass net force equation F a net m motion variables acceleration initial velocity final velocity change in time displacement equations v f at v i x 1 2 at 2 v i t v f2 v i2 2ax c. The variable that ties both lists of variables together is acceleration. Depending on the variables you know, use either the force or motion mathematical models to solve for acceleration, then use the acceleration value to solve for the unknown quantity. 7. For a given pair of surfaces, the friction force is generally some fraction of the normal force, where that fraction is called the coefficient of friction, (greek letter mu). Therefore, Ffriction = FN. Every pair of surfaces has its own coefficient of friction.
