Force

Equation of Force

F=ma

Characteristic of force in equilibrium

Velocity constant(stationary) Acceleration = 0 Resultant force = 0

Characteristic of forces not in equilibrium

Velocity is not constant Acceleration is not zero The resultant force is not zero

"a" in force equation

Acceleration

Effect of force

Force can change the shape and the original state of motion

Book on table have...........force

equilibrium

A condition that causes a force to exist

If the acceleration is greater than zero

Definition of resultant force

The total force acting on the object

A condition that causes force is not to be in equilibrium

If the velocity is not constant

Effect if the resultant force is not zero

The object is not in equilibrium force
