7K Identifying forces - What is a force?
What is a force and what does it do?

A force is
You cannot see a force. But you can feel a force and see the effect of the force. Forces make things happen or stop them from happening. Name 5 ways in which you have used a force today.
7K Identifying forces Effects of a force
Forces can effect things in 3 ways. Can you name them? Effect 1. A force can change the shape of an object.
Effect 2. A force can change the speed of an object, making it faster or slower.
Effect 3. A force can change the direction of an object.

7K Forces
Friction
7K Friction What is friction?
Put your palms together and rub hard. What happens?
You are creating the force called
Friction occurs when any two surfaces move against each other and tries to stop the movement. Heat is generated as a result of friction. Which type of surface generates more friction, a rough surface or a smooth surface?
7K Friction Take the rough with the smooth
7K Friction Thrust and drag forces
What forces are acting on a racing car travelling at a constant speed?

Drag forces oppose the thrust force and slow the car. Where are these frictional forces? A thrust force makes the car move forward. Where does this force come from?
drag
thrust
The friction of the tyres on the road opposes movement of the car.
The friction of air against the body of the car also opposes the cars movement. This type of friction is called air resistance.
7K Friction Thrust and drag forces
When the thrust and drag forces are balanced, the car travels at a constant speed.
drag
thrust
What happens to the speed of the car when the thrust and drag forces are unbalanced?
7K Friction High or low?
Weight
7K Weight What is gravity?
Why does rain always fall downwards towards the Earth?
Why doesnt water come out of the tap sideways?
Why dont people on the other side of the Earth fall off into outer space?
7K Weight What is gravity?
The answer to all these questions is the force called
7K Weight What is weight?
The pulling force of gravity always acts towards the centre of the Earth, wherever you are on the planet.
7K Weight What is weight?
The effect of the force of gravity on an object is called the objects
Weight is a force and is measured in Newtons. Why is weight different to mass?

7K Weight - Balanced forces
The girl below is not moving. Are there any forces acting on her?
An upwards force is produced by the chair in the opposite direction to gravity.
The girls weight due to the force of gravity is pulling her mass down on the chair.
The girl does not move because these forces are balanced. What does this tell you about the size of these forces?
7K Weight Changes in weight
Gravity changes depending on where you are in the Universe.
What happens to weight and mass when gravity changes?
Our friendly alien Ms. R. Nerg will help you find out more
On Earth, a mass of 1 kg has a weight of 10 N.
My mass is 42 kg. What is my weight on Earth?
The force of gravity on the Moon is 6 times less than on Earth.
My mass is still 42 kg. What is my weight on the Moon?
In outer space, far away from any planets or stars, there is no gravity pulling on me.
My weight in outer space is 0 N. What is my mass in outer space?
7K Weight Force of water
Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to push an inflatable under water? Thats because the water exerts an upwards force on the inflatable. The upward force that acts on things in a liquid is called
How does upthrust help things float?

7K Weight Why do things float?
What forces are acting on the rubber duck as it floats? Upthrust of water pushes upwards against the weight of the duck. Weight of the duck due to the force of gravity pulls downwards.
The floating rubber duck is not moving.

What does this tell you about the forces acting on it?
