Force of friction=coefficient of friction*normal force
Force causes pressure
pressure= force/area
Falling and air resistance:
the longer you fall, the faster you go. Eventually, the air resistance will equal out with gravity and you will stop accelerating. This is called terminal velocity.
Heavier objects are affected differently by air resistance. It takes more air molecules to slow down the heavier object which means it accelerates faster.
Chapter 6:
Action/Reaction:
Whenever an object exerts a force on another. The second object exerts an equal and opposite force
Horse and cart dilemma:
horse pulls cart which means cart puts equal and opposite force on horse. It moves because of the force the horse applied to the ground and the force the cart applies to the ground
Chapter 7:
Momentume and Inertia:
p=mv
impulse=ft
ft=change in mass*velocity
Bouncing doubles the impact and change in momentum is doubled
MOMENTUM IS ALWAYS CONSERVED
Collisions
m(1i)v(1i)+m(2i)v(2i)=m(1f)v(1f)+m(2f)v(2f)
bounce off
m(1)v(1i)+m(2)v(2i)=(m1+m2)v(f)
stick together
(m1+m2)vi=m(1)v(1f)+m(2)v(2f)
explosion
Chapter 8:
Energy:
w=fd
power=work/time
PE=mgh
KE=(1/2)mv2
Conservation of Energy- energy is never created or destroyed, it changes forms. Potential energy turns into kinetic energy and vice versus
PE(1)+KE(1)=PE(2)+KE(2)

Force ramp problems:
1. Draw the weight straight down
2. Draw normal force perpendicular to ramp
3. Complete the last leg of inner triangle to be parallel to surface
