Force
• What is force?
– Push or Pull
• It’s what causes “things” to accelerate

Balanced v. Unbalanced
Forces
• If all forces are balanced there is no
acceleration in any direction.
– (Either Zero Motion or Constant Velocity)
• If one force is greater than the opposing
force we get acceleration in a direction.
Balanced Forces
(Balanced Forces = No Acceleration)
5N
Object
Notice that all the forces are equally pointed in
the opposite direction. Hence they balance
each other – or cancel each other.
5N
Equal Pushing
Forces may cancel each other and
produce No Acceleration!

Ground pushes up
Gravity pulls down
Gravity pulls down on you…
The ground pushes back up…

If these football players push
on each other equally as hard,
will either one move?

Notice that all the forces are unequal and

Balance between
Gravity and Friction
Q: If the friction of the air and the pull of
gravity were in perfect balance, what
would the skydiver be doing?
A: The skydiver would be going a constant
velocity (moving with no acceleration) down
towards the ground until it hit the ground.
The skydiver is colliding with the
molecules of gas in the air!
Which slows down the fall of the skydiver!

How it works
Notice that as the skydiver
leaves the plane, the force of
gravity accelerates him faster
towards the earth; however,
the moment he jumps out of
the plane, another force
begins to oppose gravity –
Air Resistance, (Friction).
This friction with the air
begins to slow down his rate
of acceleration. Meaning,
he’s still speeding up, just not
as fast.
Gravity
Once the force of air friction
equals the force of gravity,
the skydiver steadily
descends towards earth at a
constant velocity.
Balanced Forces

= No

Wait aForces
minute. This
object
was moving.
That’s Right. As you may have noticed, although I may have balanced forces, I might
still be moving.
Notice that when the forces are balanced, the object might still be moving, but the
objects are not accelerating, instead they have a constant velocity. Hence, once in
motion – it’s always in motion unless acted upon by what? Another Force.

Notice that all the forces are equally pointed in

In other words, you still need to use the gas
peddle to balance out all the force of friction
to keep you going at a constant speed.

The Law of Conservation of
Energy
created or
• Energy cannot be __________
____________;
it may be transformed
destroyed
from one form into another, but the total
never
amount of energy _________
changes.
What is energy?
• “the ability to do work”
• The combination of energy and matter
make up the universe:
– Matter is substance, and energy is the
mover
____________
of substance.
Energy is
nature’s way of keeping score.
We sense energy only
when it changes,
either a transformation
from one form of
energy to another,
or a transfer of energy
from one point to
another.

Work is done when a force is
exerted over a distance.
Work
• is equal to the force that is exerted
multiplied by the distance over which it is
exerted.

• W = _______
• The unit of work combines the unit of
force (N) with the unit of distance (m)
Joule
• Newton-meter (N-m) aka ________.
You carry a 20 kg suitcase upstairs, a
distance of 4m. How much work did you
do?
• W=Fxd
• F = ma
• = (20 kg) (10m/s2) = 200 N
• W=Fxd
