Give two examples of a contact force. (2) | Friction, air resistance, drag, push, pull etc. |
What is the other type of force? (1) | Contact |
How do you calculate the weight of an object? (1) | Weight = mass x gravitational force |
What are the three magnetic materials? (3) | Iron, Nickel and Cobalt. |
What is the relationship between the mass of an object and its gravitational pull? (1) | As the mass increases so does the strength of gravity. |
When an object becomes positively charged, what has happened to the number of electrons it has? (1) | Decreased. |
Where is a magnetic fields the strongest? (1) | At the poles / where the field lines are closest together. |
Give two features of action-reaction forces. (2) | Act on different objects / act in the opposite direction / are the same type of force / They are the same size. |
What is the name of the force which opposes your weight when you are standing or sitting on the ground? (1) | Normal reaction force. |
How is a force represented on a diagram? (1) | As an arrow. |
What is a vector? (2) | Something that has a magnitude and a direction. |
What is a resultant force? (1) | A force that represents that represents to combined effect of all forces acting on the object. |
What is the resultant force when a force of 4N pushes to the left, and a second force of 5N pushes to the right? (2) | 1N to the right. What two things occur when the resultant force acting on an object is zero? (2) |
To get a system into equilibrium the total clockwise forces must be equal to ….. what? | The total anticlockwise moment. |
