Physics (P2)
Forces and their Effects
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How can objects interact by contact? | Normal contact force that acts between all touching objects or friction |
| Give an example of a non contact force. (Gravitational) | Gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Sun caused by their gravitational fields interacting |
| Give an example of a non contact force (magnetic) | Interacting magnetic fields cause attraction or repulsion between magnetic objects |
| What are vector arrows? | They show the forces 2 objects exert on each other (equal and opposite) |
| Give 3 examples of vector quantities. | Velocity, Force, Acceleration |
| Give 3 examples of Scalar quantities. | Distance, Temperature, Mass |
| How do we find the resultant force? | Subtract opposite and add parallel |
| Let's say 1 arrow was bigger than the opposite one, what direction would the force act? | The bigger arrow |
| How do we reduce unwanted energy transfer through lubrication? | Reduces friction so less heat loss |
