Physics - Forces Flashcards
Pull and push
The two forces on the earth are pull and push.One that is pulling you up and one pulling you down but you have to be touching the ground.
What do Friction and air resistance have in common?
They both are contact forces. Support force,like upthrust is also is contact forces
transparent
An object that is transparent means that you can look through it
E.g water is transparent
Force
Force is a push or a pull.
When a force is exerts on an object you can see the affect.
For can also change an objects: speed, shape,potion and direction.
Measuring force
A unit of force is called “ a Newton” and it has the symbol”N”.
Reaction/normal force
The reaction force is the force that pull you down/keeps you on the ground so when you jump, you will go down because of reaction force.
Newton
A newton is a way of measuring force (N)
3 affects of Forces
The three are: pull, push and pull
Friction
It is when an object is rubbing against another surface it will slow down.
Compress
It is when you put pressure/tension onto an object.
