   1. The force of gravity – an attractive force between objects that have mass. 2. The electromagnetic force – a force between charged objects, which we’ll discuss in the second half of the book). The contact force, and its components the normal force and the force of friction, arise from interactions between tiny objects (e.g., electrons)

   Figure 5.2.4: The force exerted by a stretched spring can be used as a standard unit of force. (a) This spring has a length x when undistorted. (b) When stretched a distance Δ x , the spring exerts a restoring force →F restore, which is reproducible. (c) A spring scale is one device that uses a spring to measure force.

   Essential Knowledge 3.A.3 A force exerted on an object is always due to the interaction of that object with another object. Essential Knowledge 3.A.4 If one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object always exerts a force of equal magnitude on the first object in the opposite direction.

   = 0 N = mg upward force on book exactly cancels downward force on book. How does the table know to exert an upward force that is exactly the right size to cancel the weight of the book? Answer: the table is not perfectly rigid; it is flexible, it is slightly springy. The table is slightly compressed by the weight of the book, and it pushes back ...

   Force is the cause of motion, and motion draws our attention. Motion itself can be beautiful, such as a dolphin jumping out of the water, the flight of a bird, or the orbit of a satellite. The study of motion is called kinematics, but kinematics describes only the way objects move—their velocity and their acceleration.

   How is force represented in physics?

   • Force can be represented by vectors or expressed as a multiple of a standard force. The push or pull on an object can vary considerably in either magnitude or direction. For example, a cannon exerts a strong force on a cannonball that is launched into the air. In contrast, Earth exerts only a tiny downward pull on a flea.

   How does a force act on an object?

   • A force, which is a push or a pull, acts on an object when there is an interaction between that object and another object. Newton’s laws give us some guidelines to use when applying forces to solve problems. They are:

   How do forces affect the motion of an object?

   • Forces serve to change the velocity of an object, not to maintain its motion (contrary to the ideas of philosophers in ancient times). Experiments show that objects have a property called mass which measures how their motion is influenced by forces. Mass is measured in kilograms in the SI system.

   Does a net force change the direction of an object?

   • Answer to Essential Question 3.3: Yes, but only for an instant. If an object experiences a net force, its motion changes. If the object is initially at rest, it will start to move. If the object is initially moving, the net force might bring it to rest for an instant and then reverse its direction.

   What happens if an object experiences a net force?

   • If an object experiences a net force, its motion changes. If the object is initially at rest, it will start to move. If the object is initially moving, the net force might bring it to rest for an instant and then reverse its direction. Why would someone think that an object with more mass falls faster than an object with less mass?

   What does Newton's first law tell us about a non-zero net force?

   • When there is a non-zero net force acting on an object, Newton’s first law is a rather qualitative statement. It tells us that the velocity of the object changes, but it does not tell us how the velocity changes. This is where Newton’s second law comes in.

   With Newton’s Laws we begin the study of how motion occurs in the real world. The study of the causes of motion is called dynamics, or mechanics. The relation between force and acceleration was given by Isaac Newton in his three laws of motion, which form the basis of elementary physics. Though Newton’s formulation of physics had to be ...
