Force Moments Work And Power Flashcards
Force
Is anything which causes an object to change its velocity
Velocity
Is the speed in a given direction
Forces are measured in
Newtons
Push
Changes the velocity of an object
Pull
Changes the velocity of an object
Weight
Moves objects towards the ground
Friction
Slowst down moving objects
Electric
Causes charges particles to move
Magnetic
Causes magnetic materials to move
To measure force we use a
Newton spring balance
Forces always occur in pairs
For every force there is an equal and opposite force
Friction
Is the force that prevents easy movements between two objects in contact
High friction
Sand paper, car tyres ,rough soled shoes
Low friction
Wet soap ,ice and glass
Lubricant
Is anything that reduces friction
