Force Moments Work And Power Flashcards
Force
A force causes a stationary object to move
Newton meter
Forces can be measured by it
Push
Changes the velocity of an object
Eg pushing a door open
Pull
Changes the velocity of an object
Eg pulling a window closed
Weight
Moves an object towards the ground
Friction
Slows down moving object
Electric
Causes charged particles to move
Magnetic
Causes magnetic materials to move
Friction
Is the force that prevents easy movement between two objects in contact
High friction
Sand paper, car tyres and rough soled shoes
Low friction
Wet soap, ice and glass
Power
Is the rate at which work is done
Force measurement
Mass x acceleration
Weight measurement
Mass x gravity
Advantages for friction
Four advantages of friction are can slow down fall
and you can creat fire also you can creat electricity and to walk without slipping
