What is a force?
A
push
or a
pull
View source
How do forces affect objects?
They change
speed
,
direction
, or shape
View source
What are interaction pairs of
forces
?
Forces that act in
opposite
directions
View source
What is an example of an interaction pair?
The
force of you
on the Earth
View source
How are forces measured?
Using a
newtonmeter
or
spring balance
View source
What happens when you increase the force on a spring?
The spring
grows
more
to show
force
View source
What can two or more forces do to an object?
They can
deform
the object
View source
What do atomic bonds behave like?
Springs
View source
What is the reaction force when you stand on the floor?
The floor
pushes
up against you
View source
What happens when you pull a solid?
It
gets
a
bit
longer
View source
What do springs obey?
Hooke's Law
View source
What does Hooke's Law state about spring extension?
Extension is
proportional
to the force
View source
What happens to the extension of a spring if you double the force?
The extension doubles up to the
elastic limit
View source
What does a graph of force against extension look like for springs?
It is a
straight line
View source
Do all objects obey Hooke's Law?
No
,
not
all
objects
obey
it
View source
What are the two types of forces mentioned?
Contact and
non-contact
forces
View source
How do non-contact forces operate?
They act at a
distance
without contact
View source
Name three examples of non-contact forces.
Gravitational
,
magnetic
,
electrostatic
forces
View source
What is a field in physics?
A region where an object experiences a
force
View source
What force do particles in fluids exert on moving objects?
Drag force
View source
What is air resistance?
Drag force
when moving through
gas
View source
What is water resistance?
Drag force
when moving through liquid
View source
What does every object exert on every other object?
Gravitational force
View source
What is mass?
Amount
of
stuff
in
an
object
View source
How is mass measured?
In
kilograms
(kg) or grams (g)
View source
What is weight?
Force
due to
gravity
on an object
View source
How is weight measured?
In
newtons
(N)
View source
How do you calculate weight?
Weight =
mass
×
gravitational field strength
View source
What is the gravitational field strength on Earth?
10 N/kg
View source
Why do objects weigh less on the Moon?
Moon has less
mass
than
Earth
View source
What happens to gravitational field strength with distance?
It
decreases
with
distance
View source
What is the weight of a 500g book on Earth?
5 N
View source
How do you convert grams to kilograms?
Divide
by
1000
View source
What is the weight calculation for a 500g mass on Earth?
Weight = 0.5kg ×
10N/kg
=
5N
View source
What is Hooke's Law?
Force
is
proportional
to extension
View source
What is the elastic limit?
The maximum extent an object can be
deformed
View source
What is the definition of friction?
Force
opposing motion between surfaces
View source
What is the difference between contact and non-contact forces?
Contact forces
require
touch
; non-contact
do
not
View source
How do gravitational forces differ from electrostatic forces?
Gravitational forces depend on
mass
; electrostatic on
charge
View source
How do drag forces differ when moving through gas versus liquid?
Air resistance
in gas;
water resistance
in liquid
