Forces Flashcards
What are contact forces?
Pushing and pulling
What are non contact forces?
Gravity
magnetic force
What does friction do?
Friction acts against the force to make things stop
What is drag?
Drag/air resistance works by objects and air particles colliding, drag slows down the movement of objects
What are force is measured in?
Newtons N
What are balanced forces?
Balance forces means the same force just in different directions
Moves at a constant speed
What are unbalanced forces?
Unbalanced forces means an object will speed up (accelerate) or slowdown
What is the resultant force?
The resultant force is the difference between two forces
What is terminal velocity?
Terminal velocity is the fastest speed you can go
What happens when you are skydiving?
You accelerate and then you go at a constant speed (terminal velocity)
What happens the Fastie fall?
There is more air resistance
What is mass?
Mass is the amount of stuff in object is made up of
What are the units of mass?
Kg
g
mg
What is weight?
Weight is the effect of gravity acting on the mass
Weight is not a force
What force does gravity pull with?
Gravity pulls with a force of
10 N/kg
