Moments 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsForces and MotionIGCSECIE Created by: KristenvermaakCreated on: 28-03-23 10:33 What is a moment? A moment is the turning effect on an object caused by a force? 1 of 8 What is the measurement for moment? Newton metres (Nm) 2 of 8 What can this rotation be? Clockwise or anti-clockwise. 3 of 8 What is the equation for moments? Moment (Nm)= Force (N) x Distance of the pivot (M) 4 of 8 What does moment depend on? The force and the perpendicular distance to the pivot. 5 of 8 What creates a larger turning effect? If the perpendicular distance from the pivot is longer which allows you to exert a bigger force. 6 of 8 What are examples of moments? Using a crowbar to pry something open. Scissors Turning a tap on or off. Wheelbarrow. 7 of 8 What does the principle of moment state? If an object is balanced, the total clockwise moment about a pivot will equal the anti- clockwise moment about a pivot. 8 of 8
