Energy And Charge Flashcards
1
Q
What is a force
A
- it is a push or a pull
- force is measured in newton (N)
- measured with a spring balance or a scale that is carlibrated in newton
2
Q
How can a force be exerted on an object
A
- speeding up or slowing down
- deformation
- rotation
- direction can change
- object can come to stand still
3
Q
What is Paired forces
A
Each object exerts a force of equal size on the other object
4
Q
Ehat types of forces do u get
A
- non contact or flied forces
- work over a distance
- contact forces
- objects touches another object
5
Q
Examples of non contact forces
A
- gravitional
- magnectic
- electrostic
6
Q
Examples of contact forces
A
- mechanical force
- applied force
- friction force
- normal force
- tenion force or tenion
- air resistance
- elastic forces in spings
7
Q
What is gravitional force
A
- attract without touching
- the larger the mass of objects, the stronger the force of attraction
8
Q
What is the direction of gravitional attractive force
A
-towards the centre of the object
9
Q
What are the examples of objects that attract each other
A
- the sun and planets
- earth amd moon
- earth and object on the earths surface
10
Q
What is mass
A
- the object is indication of the amount of matter that object consists of ( kg )
- the mass of object remin constant
11
Q
What is weight
A
- Is the atteactive force that the earth exerts on an object (N)
- the weight of objects change
12
Q
The moon attracts an astronaut
A
-six times more weakly than earth
13
Q
The mass of an object is constant everywhere
A
But its weight changes
14
Q
What is magnets force
A
- it atttacts to objects that are constant in iron, nickel and cobalt
If it has that is it has magnectic propertises
15
Q
Facts
A
Steel contains irons
