19. What is a Force?

20. Drawing Vectors Small Force Big Force Going Right Going Right Tiny Force Huge Force Going Left Going Down

21. Cardsort: Types of Forces • Upthrust: • upwards force on a body caused by the water being displaced around it. This is sometimes called buoyancy. • Lift: • upwards force on an aeroplane. • Thrust: • forwards force created by a body. • Weight: • Force due to gravitational attraction. • Friction: • Force caused by rubbing of surfaces that opposes motion. • Air/Water Resistance: • Frictional Force caused by particles colliding with the body that opposes motion. • Magnetic: • Force caused by magnetic attraction. • Electrostatic: • Force caused by attraction between charges. • Reaction: • Force created by a body as a reaction to a force being applied.

22. What are the Balanced Forces?

23. Newton’s First Law Definition: An object will remain at rest or at a constant velocity in a straight line unless there is a resultant force acting on it. Isaac Newton 1643-1727

24. Calculating resultant forces

27. Newton’s Second Law F m a If the forces acting on an object are unbalanced then the object will accelerate, like these wrestlers: • Definition: • The net force acting on a body is directly proportional to the mass x the acceleration of the body and acts in the same direction. • Equation: • F = m x a • N kg m/s2 • Mnemonic: • Fear my anger Isaac Newton 1643-1727

28. Gravitational Field Strength W m g • Definition • Acceleration due to a gravitational field. Can be measured in N/kg or m/s2. • Is 10 N/kg on Earth. • Symbol: • g • Equation: • W = m x g • N kg m/s2 • Mnemonic: • Wow my goodness • Wazzup my G Worksheet

29. Direction of Friction • Friction always acts in the opposite direction to the way an object is moving. • What is the direction of friction for the following moving objects?

30. Terminal velocity of a skydiver

31. Velocity–time graph of skydiver

32. Stopping Distance Thinking Distance Braking Distance Braking Distance Stopping Distance = = Thinking Distance + +

33. Factors affecting stopping distances Copy into your book and add: mass of the car

34. Stopping distances

35. Moments • a moment is a turning force about a point. • moment about a point = force x distance • If an object is balanced the sum of the moments on it must add up to zero. • Moments clockwise = moments anticlockwise “Give me a place to stand and I will move the Earth” Archimedes (287 – 212 BC)

36. Principle of Moments Separate Science Drag and drop any of the masses onto the “see – saw” and try to get it to balance. The masses are in kilograms and the distance in metres.

37. Centre of Gravity • The weight of an object acts through the centre of gravity. • If you balance an object the moments on it are zero. • Therefore the centre of gravity must be at the pivot point when balanced
