?
Name the forces
Normal force/ support force, Gravity, friction, magnetic force, upthrust, surface tension, air resistance and tension course
1 of 29
What is contact force?
Occurs when objects contact with each other
2 of 29
What is non contact force?
Occurs when objects do not contact each other
3 of 29
Is normal force contact or no contact force?
Contact force
4 of 29
Gravity?
Non contact force
5 of 29
Friction?
Contact force
6 of 29
Magnetic force?
Non contact force
7 of 29
Upthrust?
Non contact force
8 of 29
Surface tension?
Non contact force
9 of 29

What is deformation?
When the force is removed the object changes shape for a period of time
12 of 29
What is elastic deformation?
When the force is removed the object goes back to its original shape
13 of 29
What is plastic deformation?
When the force is removed the object CANNOT return to its original shape
14 of 29
What is used to measure forces?
A Newton meter
15 of 29
What 5 things can forces make objects do?
Speed up, slow down, change direction, turn, change shape
16 of 29
How can you show the direction of a force?
With an arrow, the longer the arrow the greater the size of the force
17 of 29
What is a balanced force?
When a force on an object has the same size in the forward and backward force
18 of 29
What will the object do if it has a balanced force?
The object will stay stationary or move in the same direction at the same speed
19 of 29
If the forwards force is greater than the backwards force what will the object do?
Speed up
20 of 29
If the backwards force is great her than the forwards force what will the object do?
Slow down
21 of 29
What is a resultant force?
The resultant force is a sum of all forces acting on an object
22 of 29
What is friction?
Friction is a force that acts on 2 surfaces when they move against each other.
23 of 29
What 2 things can friction do to an object?
Friction can either stop an object from moving or slow it down
24 of 29
When does friction occur?
Friction occurs when surfaces are bumpy even if that cannot be seen by your eyes
25 of 29
How can friction be reduced?
By oil
26 of 29
How can friction be increased?
By carpet or sandpaper
27 of 29
When is friction usefull?
To keep your hands warm
28 of 29
When is friction not usefull?
When you want to move an object across a rough surface
