16
Q

When does gravity occur

A

Between any two objects that have a mass

17
Q

How does the moon stay in orbit around the earth

A

Because the two bodies are attracting each other

18
Q

The force from the moon on the earth is the same as what

A

The force from the earth on the moon

19
Q

What direction are the forces between the earth and moon going in

A

Opposite directions

20
Q

How can the gravitational forces between two objects with a mass be shown

A

Using vectors

21
Q

What are vectors

A

Arrows that show both direction and magnitude

22
Q

What’s an action-reaction force

A

Pairs of forces acting on different objects in opposite directions

23
Q

What is a force field

A

The space around an object where it can affect other objects

24
Q

Name some fields

A

Gravitational, magnetic, electric

25
What does an object charged with static electricity have
An electric field
26
What can a magnet attract
Objects that have magnetic materials
27
What is it called the forces are equal in size but in opposite directions
Resultant forces or net force
28
Are forces acting on an object always acting along the same line
No
29
How could we figure out how much thrust is pushing a plane forwards and upwards
By resolving the thrust force into two component forces that are right angles to each other
30
What is a turning force called
A moment
31
What does the moment of a force depend on
The size of the force and where the force is applied
32
How can we greater a greater moment
The further away from the pivot and and the greater the force applied
33
How is the distance between the force and the pivot measured
Normal to the direction of the force
34
What is the equation for the moment of the force
Moment of a force = force x distance normal(perpendicular) to the direction of the force
35
What something is balanced, it is said to be in what
Equilibrium
36
What is the equation for when a system involving rotational forces is in equilibrium
Sum of clockwise moments = sum of anti-clockwise moments
37
What is the horizontal line/beam called
Lever
38
What is a lever
A bar that pivots about a point and used to transfer a force
39
How can the rotational effect of a force also be transmitted
By gears
