Physical Quantities: Projectile Motion- Combination of horizontal

and vertical type of motion

1. Scalar- Involves Numbers/Magnitudes
only. Ex: 50kg,50m,10N 2 cases
2. Vector- Involve both numbers and
1. Horizontal projection
direction. Ex: 50km to the right

Methods of vector addition

1. Tip- to-tail method/Graphical method 2.Projected at angle

2. Trigonometric method

Uniformly accelerated motion (UAM)

Dynamics- Branch of mechanics that deals

with what affects the moving objects

Important terms:

1.Force (F)- A quantity that changes the velocity

of an object
Kinematics- Branch of mechanics that describes
motion. Kind of forces:
1. Applied force(F)
Forms:
2. Weight(w)- Due to the gravitational
1. Distance ( )- Total length. (vector) force
2. Displacement ( )- Straight line distance
from origin to destination.(Scalar)
3. Speed ( ) 2.Tension or Tensile Force(T)- Present in
4. Velocity ( ) (vector) Ropes/string/cables
5. Acceleration ( ) (vector)
3.Friction/ frictional force(F)- A force that
Free fall- Motion affected by the pull of gravity opposes motion.
alone.
4. Normal Force(N)- A force that is
perpendicular to the surface in contact of
moving object.

Units:
2.Mass(m)- Amount of matter in an object.

Newton’s law of motion (Sir Isaac Newton)

Law of Inertia

Law of acceleration

Law of interaction or action & reaction

Law of acceleration

“force applied directly proportional to the

product of mass and acceleration”

Equilibrium- State of balance
