What are the 4 Fundamental Forces?
1. Strong Nuclear 2. Weak Nuclear 3. Electromagnetic 4. Gravitational
1 of 14
Define Strong Nuclear Force
Holds all protons and neutrons together in the nucleus
2 of 14
Define Weak Nuclear Force
Involved in radioactive decay
3 of 14
Define Electromagentic Force
Responsible for attractive and repulsive forces between atoms e.g. air resistance, friction
4 of 14
Define Gravitational Force
Gravity is the dominant force in the universe for shaping the large scale structure of galaxies and stars
5 of 14
Define Gravity
Gravitational field strength is the force of gravity on a mass of 1kg
6 of 14
What is Gravity measured in?
N kg-1 or N/kg
7 of 14
Define Friction
The force exerted by a surface as an object moves across or makes an effort to move across that surface (friction opposes the motion of an object)
8 of 14
Define Resultant Force
Overall/net effect of all the forces on an object
9 of 14
What is Newton's 1st Law?
Every object at rest or continues in a straight line with constant velocity unless acted upon by a resultant force
10 of 14
What is Newton's 2nd Law?
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to resultant force acting on that object (F=ma)
11 of 14
What is Newton's 3rd Law?
Every action has an equal and opposite action
12 of 14
Define a Newton
A force of one newton gives a mass of 1kg an acceleration of 1 m/s2
13 of 14
Define Terminal Velocity
It is achieved when there is no resultant force acting on a falling body
