Force

        Help!  

Term
Definition
What is force   force can cause a moving object to move quickly, to move more slowly or to change direction in which it is moving.  
🗑
what is the unit of force   newtons  
🗑
what is weight   is the force pulling an object towards the center of the earth  
🗑
what is mass   is the amount of matter in an object  
🗑
what is a moment of force   Moment of Force simply refers to a force causing something to spin.  
🗑
lever formula   Smaller force x larger distance = larger force x smaller distance  
🗑
how to calculate pressure   pressure = force over area  
🗑
units for pressure   1. N/cm2 or N cm2 2. N/m2 or N m2 3. Pascal(Pa), which is another way of saying N/m2  
🗑
what is the meaning of 'work'   Work is done if a force results in an object moving a distance  
🗑
unit of work   Joules  
🗑
formula of 'Work'   Work=force x distance  
🗑
what is the meaning of 'power'   power = work + done over time taken  
🗑
what are balanced forces   If the force of an object is balanced the object remains at constant velocity  
🗑
what are unbalanced forces   If the forces on an object are unbalanced the object accelerates  
🗑
what is extension plotted against force   it is a graph that drawn on a graph page  
🗑
what are examples of force   Gravitational force, Magnetic, electrical force  
🗑
what is friction   the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.  
🗑
what is a gravitational force   a gravitational force is the force that keeps the earth circling the sun  
🗑
what is an electrical force   binds atoms together example ionic bonding  
🗑
what is a magnetic force   An electric motor converts electrical energy into physical movement. Electric motors generate magnetic fields with electric current through a coil.  
🗑
how can you prevent bad friction   rub vaseline or oil in places like underarms  
🗑
what is a frictional force   allows cars to turn a corner  
🗑
What is the law of an elastic body is directly proportionate to the force causing the extension   Hookes Law  
🗑
What is Newton's first law   An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force  
🗑
What is Newtons Second law   Force equals times acceleration F = ma Acceleration: a measurement of how quickly an object is changing speed.  
🗑
What is Newtons Third law   For every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
