Concept of
Force
NET FORCE
NET FORCE ACTING ON AN
OBJECT IS DEFINED AS THE
VECTOR SUM OF ALL FORCES
ACTING ON THE OBJECT.
IF THE NET FORCE EXERTED ON
AN OBJECT IS ZERO, THE
ACCELERATION OF THE OBJECT
IS ZERO AND ITS VELOCITY
REMAINS CONSTANT.
WHEN THE VELOCITY OF AN
OBJECT IS CONSTANT
(INCLUDING WHEN THE OBJECT
IS AT REST), THE
OBJECT IS SAID TO BE IN
EQUILIBRIUM.
Measuring the
Strength of a Force
MAS
Mass
is that property
S
of an object that
specifies how much
resistance an object
exhibits to changes
in its velocity
the SI unit of mass is
kilogram (kg)
m1
m2
=a 2

mass is a scalar
quantity
example : 3kg +
5kg = 8kg

ANSWERS
THE
GRAVITATIO
NAL FORCE
AND WEIGHT
ANSWER
5.5 (a). The
gravitational force acts
on the ball at all points
in its trajectory.
5.6 (b). Because the
value of g is smaller on
the Moon than on the
Earth, more mass of
gold would be required
to represent 1 newton
of weight on the Moon.
Thus, your friend on the
Moon is richer
