 RECAPPING FROM LAST WEEK:

1: What is the definition of “Force?

“A push or pulling action applied upon an object (measured in Newtons or N for short).

2: What is Newtons 1st Law of Motion?

An object in motion stays in motion at the same speed and in the same direction, and an object at rest stays
at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

OF MOTION.

“An object will accelerate when acted upon by an

external force. The acceleration of the object is
proportional to this force and is in the direction by which
the force acts.”

Acceleration: The rate at which an object changes speed

(measured in metres per second per second, or M/S (I
can’t find the number 2 to symbolize squared!)

EXPLAINED

Acceleration can either be a positive number (meaning an

object is getting faster) or a negative number (meaning it
is getting slower).

E.g. A shuttle in badminton will accelerate (go faster)

when hit by the racquet. The speed at which it accelerates
is proportionate (directly related) to the force the
performer has used to hit the shuttle. The shuttle will reach
a maximum speed and then begin to decelerate (slow https://youtu.be/IbsU6uR_GnA
down) as air resistance and gravity apply forces to slow it
down.

L AW O F M O T I O N

“For every action there exists an equal and opposite

reaction”

Imagine a hockey player collides with an opponent.

The hockey player will exert force on the opponent,
and the opponent will exert a force of equal and
opposite force back. This will decelerate the opponent
and potentially accelerate them in the opposite
direction.
 THE FORCE
FORMULA

You should know this after watching the EverLearner video and taking notes
from last week.

Force (N) = Mass (in kg) x acceleration (a)

Or F=ma

Mass: The quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any

forces acting on it (measured in kilograms or kg).

Every object is made up of matter and its mass is how heavy the object is
without gravity. The more matter an object has, the more it weighs, and the
bigger the mass, the harder it is to move.
F O R C E ( N ) = M A S S ( K G ) X A C C E L E R AT I O N ( A )

Using curling as an example, imagine a curler pushes a curling stone that weighs 20kg with a
force of 12N. What is the acceleration of the stone?

12 = 20 x acceleration

12/20= acceleration

Acceleration =12/20 = o.6m/s squared.

FORCE (N) = MASS Can you work out the force applied to a tennis ball
(KG) X during a serve? Consider the following scenario:

A C C E L E R AT I O N ( A ) A tennis ball has a mass of 56g, or 0.056kg. One tenth

of a second after you hit it, it reaches a speed of
160mph, or 44.7 m per second. That’s a rate of
acceleration of 447m per second per second. What
force has been applied to the ball?
 HOMEWORK

You need to create this same table but

for a different sport, showing you can
apply the effects of force. You could
pick a penalty kick, a gymnasts vault, a
free throw in basketball, a conversion
in rugby etc. Your choice. The first
column will be exactly the same, you
only need to change the second column
and obviously the pictures. Its in
assignments and on your one note.
