Terms in this set (47)
Dynamics Branch of classical mechanics concerned with the
study of forces and their effects on motion
Force Push or a pull
What is the more complex definition A action exerted on an object that can change the
of a force? object's state of rest or motion.
The unit for force, and what is its 1N = 1kgms2
relationship to the fundamental
units?
What is an agent of a force? The specific, immediate, and identifiable cause of a
force.
When a soccer player kicks a soccer The player's foot
ball, what is the agent of the force
applied to the soccer ball?
There are two kinds of forces. What Contact and Field
are they?
, Differentiate between the two types For contact forces, the agent and receiver of the
of forces. force must touch; for field forces, no contact is
needed
Give an example of a contact force. Baseball and baseball bat
Give an example of a field force. Gravity, electricity, and magnetism are all field
forces
What are the parts of a free body You draw the object and all of the forces acting on
diagram? the object
Be able to draw a free body diagram
of a book resting on a table.
Be able to draw a free body diagram
of a baseball player sliding into
second base.
Be able to draw a free body diagram
of a rocket during liftoff.
What is the property of an object Inertia
that resists any change in its motion?
What is the other name of Newton's Law of Inertia
First Law of Motion?
