Study Notes

Introduction to Forces and Their Effects

  • Starting motion (e.g., kicking a stationary ball).
  • Stopping motion (e.g., catching a moving ball).
  • Changing speed (e.g., pressing the accelerator or brake in a car).
  • Changing direction (e.g., steering a bicycle).
  • Changing shape (e.g., squashing a spring).

Forces have both magnitude (how strong they are, measured in Newtons, N) and direction. Because they have both, we call them vector quantities. We often represent forces with arrows: the length of the arrow shows the magnitude, and the way it points shows the direction.
