Forces

Summary: A force is a push or a pull, on an object that makes it move in various different ways. Forces are one of the main parts of Isaac Newton's three laws of motion, which include the law of inertia, F=MA, and for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction. The law of inertia is that if something is in motion, it will want to stay in motion, and if something is at rest it will want to stay at rest. F=MA, is a law that says the more mass something has the larger the force must be. Newton's third law states that if an action occurs there are two reactions, one that is equal, and one is opposite.

SP4: Analyzing and interpreting data
While studying how forces work and interact with each other, we used models on an online service, while we were studying the online service we used the data that we got to make various inferences on how force can effect a single object. We put the data that we gathered into a small graph showing the forces and how far movement was.

XCC Energy and Matter:
When force is applied to a piece of matter, a certain amount of energy must be exerted. The more amount of energy that is put behind a force, there will be a larger amount of newtons in the force. Depending on the mass of the object and the acceleration it is at, the more or less energy a person would have to more or less energy into the force.
