What is a non-contact force?
Whe two objects do not need to be touching for the force to act
1 of 18
What is a contact force?
When two objects have to be touching for a force to act
2 of 18
What is gravitational force?
The force of attraction between masses
3 of 18
Gravity has 2 important effects. What are they?
It make all things fall to the ground. It gives everything a weight
4 of 18
Define Mass
The amount of 'something' in an object
5 of 18
Define weight
The force acting on an object due to gravity
6 of 18
The closer you are to the mass causing the gravitational field strength the _____ it is
Stronger
7 of 18
What does the weight of an object depend on?
The strength of the gravitational field at the bottom of the object
8 of 18
Weight is meaured in
Newtons
9 of 18
Mass and Weight are
Directly proportional
10 of 18
How do you calculate the Weight of an object
Weight= Mass X Gravitational Field Strength

The sizes of the arrows on a body diagram show the...
relative magnitudes of the forces
12 of 18
The directions of the arrows on a body diagram show...
directions of the forces acting on the object
13 of 18
What is a resultant force?
The overall force on a point or object
14 of 18
If all the forces act along the same line the overall effect is found by...
adding those going in the same direction and subtracting any going in the opposite direction
15 of 18
When something moves a force has to be applied onto it. What does the force do to move the object?
Work which makes energy transfer from one store to another
16 of 18
How do you find out how much work has been done?
Work = Force X Distance
