PROPERTIES OF A FORCE
1. M_____________
2. D______________
3. P A______________
4. L A_______________
MASS
Scalar quantity
common to solids, liquids, gases
measure of INERTIA
direct relationship between Mass & Inertia
Mass and Size NOT always direct
Mass is NOT a Force
WEIGHT
Vector
Weight is a Force
measure of force of g pulling downward
direct relationship between Weight & Mass
VOLUME
Objects of similar
VOLUME but
different MASS
Space that an object occupies
Length, Width, Height
NO relationship with Mass
Shot vs Softball
Table Tennis Ball vs
Golf Ball
DENSITY
Compactness of a body or object
Mass per unit of volume
Example
water = 9.90 Newtons per liter
air = 0.01 Newtons per liter
CENTER of GRAVITY
Center of Mass of an object or body
point where Mass is concentrated
balance point
See Figure C.2 on page 82

VECTORS
VECTOR COMPOSITION
Identify Resultant Magnitude & Direction
e.g. net force, velocity, acceleration, etc.
Using Trigonometry
e.g. Pythagorean theorem
VECTOR RESOLUTION
Resultant is KNOWN
Find the 2 components that comprise R
Steps:
1. draw given vector to a selected scale
2. from vector tail, draw horizontal line & line
3. from head, connect lines to form a rectangle
