    Newton's Laws were presented. The key points covered include: - A force is a push or pull that causes interaction between two bodies. There are both contact forces, like friction, and non-contact forces, like gravity and magnetism. - The resultant force is the net force acting on an object calculated by summing all individual forces. - Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion or rest. - Newton's First Law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. - Examples of Newton's First Law in practice include

    Revision Activity 1
    Outline of the Activities
    • What is a force?
    • Types of forces
    • What is resultant force?
    • What is inertia?
    • Newtons first law
    What is force
    • A Force is an interaction between
    bodies – it is a push or a pull or a
    twist. Requires two bodies to exist.
    • Can be in contact or at a distance
    • Types of forces- frictional, gravitational, normal, tension, magnetic,
    electrostatic, etc.

    CONTACT FORCES- The two object NON CONTACT FORCE – The two objects
    interact with each other experience a force over a distance
    What is a resultant force?
    • A Resultant force is the sum of all forces acting on an object.
    • This force can be collinear or act in angle within a plane.

    • Activity 1: Find the resultant force acting on the 10kg box Fx and Fy

    • Not to be confused with constant acceleration (which means object is
    speeding up.
    SAFETY
    • Seat belts:
    We wear seat belts in cars. This is to protect us when the car is involved in an accident. If the car is
    travelling at 120 km/h the passenger in the car is also travelling at 120km/h. When the car suddenly
    stops a force is exerted on the car but not on the passenger. The passenger will continue moving
    forward at 120km/h according to Newtons first law. If the passenger is wearing a seat belt, the seat
    belt will stop them by exerting a force on them to slow down or stop and so to be less injured.

    NB. Make the right choice always


    wear your seat belt inside the car
    Problem solving strategies
    •Determine resultant force:
    •Identify the objects (forces) interacting
    •Number of forces is equal to the number of objects in contact +1 for gravitational attraction +1 for
    frictional forces if object is moving on a rough surface
    •draw the force diagram – determine the resultant force

    •Problem situations:
    • Isolate object of interest
    •What is acting on the body
    • Free body diagram
    •Determine resultant force
    •Calculate using N2

    the slope at a CONSTANT VELOCITY . The diagram below shows the forces acting on the crate whilst sliding
    down the incline.

    Exercise 4:
    The diagram below shows a 10 kg block lying on a flat, rough, horizontal surface of a table. The block is connected by a
    light, inextensible string to a 2 kg block hanging over the side of the table. The string runs over a light, frictionless
    pulley. The blocks are stationary

    4.1 State Newton's FIRST law of motion in words. (2)


    4.2 Write down the magnitude of the NET force
    acting on the 10 kg block. (1)
    When a 15 N force is applied vertically downwards on the 2 kg block, the 10 kg block accelerates to the right
    at 1,2 m∙s-2.

    4.4 Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 10 kg block and the surface of the table. (7)
    4.5 If the 10 kg block had a larger surface area in contact with the surface of the table, how would this
    affect the coefficient of kinetic friction calculated in QUESTION 6.4? Assume that the rest of the
    system remains unchanged. Write down only INCREASES, DECREASES or REMAINS THE SAME.
