  • Forces
    • Vectors and Scalars
      • Vector quantities have a magnitudes and a direction.
        • Vectors are represented by an arrow
      • Vector quantities include:
        • Force
        • Velocity
        • Displacement
        • Momentum
        • Accerleration
      • Scalar quantities have magnitude but no direction.
      • Scalar quantities include:
        • Speed
        • Distance
        • Mass
        • Temperature
        • Time
    • Types of forces
      • Gravitational Force
      • Weight
        • W = mg
      • Mass
      • Work Done
        • W = Fs
      • Elasticity
        • F = Ke
      • Accerleration
        • a = Change in velocity/time
      • Terminal Velocity
      • Friction
      • Air Resistance
      • Momentum
        • Momentum = mass x velocity
    • Newton's Laws of Motion
      • First Law: A force is needed to change motion
      • Second Law: Acceleration is proportional to the resultant force
      • Third Law: Equal and opposite forces act on interacting objects.
        • This relates to Inertia which is the tendency for motion to remain unchanged.
