Science Notes: Fundamental Forces of Nature All forces in nature may be classified into four types. The gravitational force holds together the universe at large‚ plus the atmosphere‚ water‚ and us to the planet Earth. The electromagnetic force governs atomic level phenomena‚ binding electrons to atoms‚ and atoms to one another to form molecules and compounds. The strong nuclear force holds the nucleus together. The fourth force‚ the weak nuclear force‚ is responsible for certain types of nuclear

Physics notes Force is an agent which produces or tends to produce motion in an object‚ stops or tends to stop ‚ motion of an object Newton’s 1st law of motion: If an object is at rest‚ will remain at rest until or unless an external force act on it. If an object is in motion ‚ it continues its motion until or unless an external force act on it Newton’s 1st law of motion is also called first law of inertia. Inertia: The tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of motion

A hockey stick exerts an average force of 39N on a 0.2kg hockey puck over a displacement of 0.22m. if the hockey puck started from rest‚ what is the final velocity of the puck? Assume no friction. Your physics teacher walking with the aid of a cane approaches a skateboard of 3.5 kg lying on the side walk. Pushing with an angle of 60 degree down from the horizontal with his cane‚ he applies a force of 115N‚ which is enough to toll the skateboard out of his way. Calculate the initial acceleration

Physics lab:9 Equilibrium of parallel force 11/09/2012 By: Camilo Salazar Jillian Ellis Purpose: To understand the conditions need for a rigid body to be in equilibrium when there are forces acting on the body from different sides. Theory: When force is applied on a rigid body for example a ruler it can either be in equilibrium or it can be unbalance. When the force is unbalance what would happen is this motion the body can be either translational or rotational. “A body in translational

defined as the force acting perpendicular to a unit area. It is the result of a force distributed over an area. A theater seat’s large padded seat and back offer a larger area to support your weight than a bicycle seat does. Thus‚ the theater seat exerts less pressure on you and is more comfortable than the bicycle seat. Many other everyday situations also involve pressure and it is not only about the theater or bicycle seat but as well as in fluids. To calculate pressure‚ divide the force by the area

CENTRIPETAL FORCE ON A PENDULUM OBJECTIVE To measure centripetal force exerted on a pendulum using the force sensor bob and in so doing compare this value determined by force calculations based on the height of the pendulum. THEORY Newton’s laws of motion are the basis for this experiment. Newton’s first law of motion states that a body in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of momentum of a body is dependent on
