Chapter 4 Notes: The Laws of Motion Forces Force ? push or pull on some object vector quantity Contact Forces ? result from physical contact between two objects Field Forces ? ?action-at-a-distance? gravity electric force magnetic force * The known fundamental forces in nature are all field forces In order of decreasing strength: strong nuclear force electromagnetic force weak nuclear force gravitational force Newton?s First Law An object moves with a velocity that is constant in magnitude and direction, unless acted on by a nonzero net force Net Force ? vector sum of all external forces exerted on an object Mass and Inertia Inertia ? tendency of an object to continue in its original state of motion Mass ? measure of an object?s resistance to changes in its motion due to force

AP Newton's Laws Review Sheet Newton's First Law (AKA Newton's Law of Inertia) ?Consider an object with no force acting on it. If it is at rest, it will remain at rest; if it is moving, it will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed? 5 Everyday Forces Weight Fg = mg (direction is always down) Normal Force Fn (direction is always perpendicular to the surface Friction Ff = ?Fn (direction always opposes direction of motion) Applied Force FA (pushing or pulling) Tension FT (direction is always along the string or rope; tensions are equal on either side of a massless, frictionless pulley)
