Apuntes

• Subtopic: Definition of Force A force is anything that can make a body move, change its state of motion, or deform it. • Subtopic: Hooke’s Law Hooke’s law states that the lengthening of a spring is directly proportional to the force which produces it. • Subtopic: Position and Motion Position is the location of the mobile object with respect to a reference point. Motion is a change of position of a body with respect to a reference system. • Subtopic: Space Covered and Velocity Space covered refers to the distance traveled by the mobile object along its trajectory. Velocity is the space covered by the mobile object per unit of time. • Subtopic: Friction Force A force of friction is a force opposing motion, produced by the interaction between the surfaces of two bodies. • Subtopic: Mass and Weight Mass is the amount of matter in a body and is invariable. Weight is the force with which one body is attracted by another body. • Subtopic: Electrical Charge Electrical charge is related to the proportion existing between protons and electrons in atoms. --- • Subtopic: Energy and Its Forms Energy is the capacity that bodies have to produce changes in themse...
