Science ~ Forces Flashcards
How do you show an object accelerating
One arrow is longer than the other
How do you show and object staying in place
Both arrows are the same length
How do you show an object moving at a constant speed
Both arrows are the same length
What are the 3 main forces
Push, pull and twist
What is a contact force
There is a contact between exerting force and receiving force
What is a non contact force
The result is visible but you cannot see the contact between the force and the agent
What are 3 contact forces
Friction, Upthrust, Air resistance
What were 3 non contact forces
Gravity, magnetic, electrostatic
Friction
Contact
Upthrust
Contact
Air resistance
Contact
Gravity
Non contact
Magnetic
Non contact
Electrostatic
Non contact
What is force measured in
Newtons ( n )
What do forces work in
Pairs opposing each other
What is the piece of apparatus used to measure forces
Newton meter
Do objects need to touch to interact
No
What are the five things forces can make objects do
-Speed up or start moving
-slow down or stop
-change direction
-Turn
-change shape
Are the forces balanced or unbalanced when the arrows are uneven
Unbalanced
Are the forces balanced when the arrows are the same length?
Balanced
What are forces
Pushes, pulls or twists
What is speed
A measure of how far you travel in a set amount of time 
How do you calculate speed
Speed = distance
