Types of Interactions
Stability & Instability
Forces & Motion
Force: any push or pull on an object that could cause a change in motion (contact or non-contact)
Motion: an act of moving. Force causes motion
*Remember: gravitational, electric, and magnetic forces between a part of objects do not require that they be in
contact.
Gravitational forces: objects with mass are sources of gravitational fields and are affected by the gravitational fields of all other obects of mass. Gravitational force pulls objects to the planet's center.
Electric and magnetic forces can be attractive or repulsive
Stability: a stable system is one in which the internal and external forces are such that any small change results in forces that return the system to its prior state
Instability: a system can be static but unstable, with any small chamge leading to forces that tend to increase that change
Example of a stable system:
- a weight hanging from a string
- an hourglass before it gets turned upside down
- warm water
- boat floating on water
Example of an unstable system:
- a ball at the top of a hill
- boiling water
- wind pushing a boat
