A brief review of Forces
Balanced and Unbalanced
Contact and Action-at-a-Distance
Balanced vs Unbalanced
Balanced Unbalanced
If there is acceleration, then there is an unbalanced force.If acceleration is zero, then the forces are balanced.
Are these balanced or unbalanced forces?
A Racecar at the start of a race.A car parked on the side of a hill.A minivan using cruise control, on a flat highway.
Remember: Acceleration is any change in velocity! Slowing down, Speeding up, or changing direction.
Acceleration equals zero if an object is not moving, or if it is moving at a constant velocity.
Contact and Action-at-a-Distance
•Contact Forces- Those that need to physically touch an object.
•Action-at-a-Distance Forces- Those that do not need to touch an object.
Contact Forces• Friction
• Tension
• Air Resistance
• Applied
• Spring
• Normal
Action-at-a-Distance Forces• Magnetic
• Electrical
• Gravitational
