Forces Flashcards
What are the two types of forces?
Contact forces & Non-contact forces
What is a force?
a push, pull or twist
What can forces change in?
shape, direction & speed
do rough surfaces produce more or less friction?
Rough surfaces produce more frictions because of their roughness & hard surfaces which provides more grip to hold on to or stick too.
Does friction transform kinetic energy into heat energy?
yes, because the more you rub and make more kinetic energy you get more friction created.
What do you measure forces in?
Newtons (N)
What are the two magnetic poles at the ends of a magnet?
North (N) and South (S)
What will heavier objects encounter?
Heavier objects will encounter greater friction because of the weight of the item.
