force
Forces are pushes or pulls. Every force acts on an object. Every force has an agent—something that does the pushing or pulling.
kinetic friction
Friction between moving surfaces Kinetic friction arises when two surfaces are sliding past each other. Kinetic friction depends on the materials of the two surfaces and must be determined empirically (meaning--in the lab). f_k= μ_k n
static friction If the box is stationary, then ∑▒〖F ⃗=0〗. There must be a second horizontal force exerted on the box so that ∑▒〖F ⃗=0〗. What is that force? What is its magnitude and what is its direction?
Friction that acts on objects that are not moving A force is applied to the box, but the box remains stationary. If the box is stationary, then ∑▒〖F ⃗=0〗. There must be a second horizontal force exerted on the box so that ∑▒〖F ⃗=0〗. What is that force? What is its magnitude and what is its direction? Fnet is 0

Newton's First Law of Motion Law of Inertia

Newton's Second Law, preliminary
If the net force on an object is not zero, the velocity of the object changes. -change in velocity per unit of time is acceleration -acceleration has the same direction as the net force

Mass and weight are linked through
Mass and weight are linked through w=mg
Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation
Mass attracts mass. F(1 on 2)= F(2 on 1)=G (m_1 m_2)/r^2 Where G is the universal gravitation constant G=6.67 x 10^(-11) (N m^2)/〖kg〗^2 . m1 and m2 are masses. r is the distance between the masses.
mass vs weight
Mass is an inherent property of an object. The object can be relocated and the mass will not change. Weight is the force on the object due to the gravitational attraction of a large astronomical body. That body can be the Earth, the moon, Mars, etc. Weight is not an inherent property of the object. Mass and weight are linked through w=mg. Here on earth, we sometimes interchange the words in our everyday conversation.

Conservation Laws Conservation of Linear Momentum Conservation of Angular Momentum Conservation of Energy Conservation of Mass what does conservation mean? what is the system?
The word conservation means that the quantity does not change. What we usually mean is that under some set of conditions, the quantity does not change. System—composed of interacting objects
contact forces
These exist only as the objects are touching each other. v actual touching—from a shove or a kick v friction v tension in a rope or chain v forces from floors, tables, or walls v drag forces such as air resistance thrust from rocket engines NO Force is objects are NOT touching--it's the interaction that is the force
how friction develops
These two surfaces are sliding or trying to slide past each other. The atomic sized protrusions and valley interact with each other. very few points are actually in contact b/c atomically there are bumps
Apparent Weight
Your sensation of weight is due to the contact forces supporting you. In most situations we call this supporting force the normal force. However, when we are concentrating on a human and what they are "feeling", we frequently refer to this as the apparent weight. To find the apparent weight of somebody in an elevator, draw a FBD and then apply Newton's second law.
