Forces

Question 0

What are the two common forces???

Answer 0

Friction:
Acts in the opposite direction in the motion of an object
Will cause am object to slow and eventually stop

Gravity:
A force of attraction between all objects
Mass and distance have effect on gravity
Greater mass=more gravitational force
Closer distance=more gravitational force

Question 1

Force is….

Answer 1

A push or a pull
Can slow down,speed up,or change direction of an object
Act on every object(not all cause or change motion)
The larger the mass,more resistant to change in motion
All have size and direction
Measured with a spring scale

Question 2

What are balanced and unbalanced forces?

Answer 2

Usually more than one force acting on an object
The combination of forces is called the Net Force
When net force is zero,forces are balanced and there is no motion
When net force does not equal zero,forces are unbalanced,and motion occurs

Question 3

Spring scale measures

Answer 3

Measures in force in Newtons (n)

On Earth a reading of 100 grams of mass is 1 Newton
