VCE Physics/Unit 2/AoS 1/Forces

/Forces Introduction A force is a push or a pull. Relevant dot points from the Study Design model forces as vectors acting at the point of application (with magnitude and direction), labelling these forces using the convention ‘force on A by B’ or apply the vector model of forces, including vector addition and components of forces, to readily observable forces including the force due to gravity, friction and reaction forces apply Newton’s three laws of motion to a body on which forces act: netFam=, Fon A by B = –Fon B by A calculate torque: investigate and analyse theoretically and practically translational forces and torques in simple structures that are in rotational equilibrium.
