Enables compasses to work 5. Gravity 6. Nuclear 7. Air resistance 8. Electrostatic e. Holds the particles in a nucleus together f. When an object moves through air g. The force that exists between all objects with mass h. The force you get between two charged objects
- 15. Some Force definitionsWhen an object is moving it comes in contact with small particles in the air. The collisions cause an opposition to the movement. An engine or motor uses this force to cause an object to move. This force is experienced when an object is in water, it is sometimes called buoyancy. The force associated with a string or a rope being stretched. The Force which opposes the motion of an object, it is also needed to give your shoes grip on the ground When an object’s weight is larger than this force then the object will break through- it is a contact force and acts in the opposite direction to weight.

- 17. Force diagrams Forcediagrams help us understand forces. The force is represented by an arrow . The direction the arrow points shows the direction the force is acting. The size of the arrow can be used to compare the size of the forces. A force diagram for a falling object just after it starts to fall. Air resistance Weight

- 22. Measuring Forces Aforce metre (also called a Newton balance) can be used to measure the size of a force. The standard unit used for force is the newton (N) work against to drag your bag along the desk apply to the ground need to double the length of a spring Name of Force Size of Force (N) The force that you…
Editor's Notes
- #4 Follow on from motion… we use the idea of a ‘force’ to grasp why objects change their motion or physically change
- #5 This is a FLASH animation. Please click on the arrows to show the force.
- #12 Newton’s Cradle – again demonstrates the 4 effects, two on each side moving in to hit the middle stationary ball will cause it to change shape
- #14 Individually, at the back of the note book make a list of as many forces as possible. You can use our text book to give you some help. Find out how far we can go around the class without repeating the same name of a force…
- #15 Have a think, again at the back of your book, match the number with the correct letter, name of the force with the description of the force.
- #16 Each group will have a set of cards, lay them out with the name of the force facing up, pick up one and turn it over to read the description. Try to match the description to one of the names of a force, then pick up that name of a force and turn it over to read another description. Repeat this until you get all 6 names and descriptions. Write out in your book all 6 definitions Ping Pong ball in water - upthrust
- #18 The next stage of understanding about forces is to consider a simple diagram of an object with the forces that are applied to it. An arrow is used to indicate the direction and the relative size of the force, as well as including the name of the force. 4 examples of force diagrams – add on the labels, arrows and names of the forces
- #23 Using a Newton balance, find the size of the force in each of the activities. Give the name of the force in each case. Tension, Weight / Gravity, Friction
