The direction of each arrow shows the direction of each force.
A force diagram uses labelled arrows to show all the forces acting on the object.
What is the force diagram for this ball when it first starts to fall?
air resistance
weight
How can forces be represented?
The forces acting on any object can be shown using a force diagram.
The length of each arrow is proportional to the size of the force.
Forces are measured in newtons (N)

What are resultant forces?
There are usually several different forces acting on an object. The overall motion of the object will depend on the size and direction of all the forces.
The motion of the object will depend on the resultant force. This is calculated by adding all the forces together, taking their direction into account.
50 N 30 N
Resultant force on the crate = 50 N – 30 N
= 20 N to the left

Friction is a resistive force that slows things down and tries to stop objects sliding past each other.
What is friction?
What would happen if friction didn’t exist?
friction pulling force
Friction always acts in the opposite direction to which an object is moving or trying to move.

What causes friction?
Friction occurs between two objects because the surfaces of those objects are rough, and contain bumps and hollows.
This roughness means that a force is needed to move the two objects over each other.
Even objects that appear very smooth, such as polished metal or ice, have a rough surface if viewed under a microscope.

Different types of friction
Friction is most obvious when it acts between two solid objects, but it also acts between solid objects and gases, and between solid objects and liquids.
Friction caused by an object moving through air is called air resistance.
Friction caused by an object moving through a liquid, such as water, is called drag.

Friction always tries to stop things moving or slow things down. What effect does this have?
Reducing the effects of friction
Friction creates heat and eventually wears down surfaces, which can be very damaging.
Lubricants are used to reduce friction in machinery and so help protect surfaces. In car engines, oil is used as a lubricant.
Bearings and rollers can also be used to reduce friction, for example, in wheels

Reducing the impact of air resistance
Friction caused by air resistance affects the speed and fuel consumption of vehicles such as cars, bikes and aeroplanes.
Vehicles are specially shaped, or streamlined, to enable air to flow past them as easily as possible, therefore reducing air resistance.
In a similar way, ships and boats have streamlined hulls to reduce the drag effects of water.
Which of these cars is the most streamlined?

What is Newton’s first law?
If the forces on an object are balanced, the object will continue to do what it is already doing:
if the object is stationary, it will remain stationary
if the object is moving, it will continue to move at the same speed and in the same direction.
If the resultant force acting on an object is zero, all the forces are said to be balanced.
This forms the basis of Newton’s first law of motion, which states:

If the resultant force acting on an object is not zero, all the forces are said to be unbalanced.
This forms the basis of Newton’s second law of motion, which states:
What is Newton’s second law?
If the forces on an object are unbalanced, two things about the object can change:
the speed of the object may change – it may either increase or decrease
the direction of motion may change.

How is movement calculated from force?
The resultant force acting on an object is related to the object’s mass and acceleration. These three factors are linked by the following equation:
Resultant force is measured in newtons (N).
Mass is measured in kilograms (kg).
Acceleration is measured in metres per second per second (m/s2).
force = mass x acceleration

How do we use Newton’s second law?
A car has a mass of 1,000 kg. What force must the car’s engine supply to cause an acceleration of 2 m/s2?
force = mass x acceleration
= 1,000 x 2
= 2,000 N

Using a formula triangle
A formula triangle helps you to rearrange a formula. The formula triangle for force (f), mass (m) and acceleration (a) is shown below.

Cover the quantity that you are trying to work out, which gives the rearranged formula needed for the calculation.
So to find force (f), cover up f…

What forces are acting on Mel’s computer?
The computer is pulled downwards by the force of gravity and causes it to have weight.
These forces are balanced so the computer does not move.
What forces support objects?
weight
reactionforce
The table exerts an equal and opposite force pushing upwards on the computer. This is called the reaction force.

A force cannot exist on its own – there is always a second force acting against it.
This forms the basis of Newton’s third law of motion states, which states:
What is Newton’s third law?
These pairs of forces that act between two objects are sometimes called action–reaction pairs.
If object A exerts a force on object B, then object B exerts an equal but opposite force on object A.
