Types of forces

Question 1

Name the three motions of forces

Answer 1

Pull, push, twist

Question 2

A definition of a force

Answer 2

A force is a pull,push or twist that acts on an object due to the interaction with another object

Question 3

What is a contact force?

Answer 3

When objects are physically touching each other

Question 4

What are Non contact forces?

Answer 4

When the objects are physically separated

Question 5

Friction

Answer 5

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: Dry friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact.

Question 6

Thrust

Answer 6

Thrust is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton’s third law. When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction, the accelerated mass will cause a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction, to be applied to that system

Question 7

Gravitational force

Answer 7

Is the force applied using the law of gravity, which brings your body downwards.

Question 8

Magnetic force

Answer 8

A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials. A moving charge in a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its own velocity and to the magnetic field

Question 9

Electrostatic force

Answer 9

The electrostatic force is an attractive and repulsive force between particles are caused due to their electric charges. The electric force between stationary charged body is conventionally known as the electrostatic force. It is also referred to as Columb’s force.

Question 10

Upthrust

Answer 10

Is when an object in a liquid or gas goes upwards

Question 11

Tension

Answer 11

In physics, tension is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member

Question 12

Air resistance

Answer 12

Air resistance is a force that is caused by air. The force acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air.

Question 13

Vector

Answer 13

An arrow

Question 14

What direction does the arrow point in?

Answer 14

It points in the direction of the resultant force, which is when if there are forces acted on both sides of an object the larger one is the resultant force

Question 15

What are forces measured in

Answer 15

Newtons (N)

Question 16

What are the measurements of the forces often represented as?

Answer 16

They are often put in boxes

Question 17

What happens if both forces are equal?

Answer 17

You add the two forces together to cause a resultant force

Question 18

What is a resultant force?

Answer 18

A resultant at force is the larger force between to forces, so you take the smaller force away from the larger force to calculate the resultant force.

Question 19

What happens if the resultant force is zero?

Answer 19

The force is called balanced forces.

Question 20

What happens if there is a difference between the two forces?

Answer 20

Then the two forces are stated as unbalanced

Question 21

What happens if an object is equilibrium?

Answer 21

It will stay stationary

It will stay same speed and same direction

Question 22

What happens if there is a change in motion?

Answer 22

It could change direction
It could accelerate
It could decelerate

Question 23

What are flow charts used for?

Answer 23

It helps you to know if forces are or aren’t balanced

Question 24

Can forces make things change shape?

Answer 24

Yes forces can make things change shape, depending on the state of the object

Question 25

Thrust and Friction are opposites

Answer 25

Also, air resistance and weight are opposites

Question 26

What is mass measured in?

Answer 26

Grams or kilograms

Question 27

What is weight measured in?

Answer 27

Weight is measured in Newtons

Question 28

What happens if you apply tension to a spring?

Answer 28

It will change shape and will become longer.

Question 29

What happens when someone applies a force to a sponge?

Answer 29

The more force applied the less thick it will be

Question 30

What was the independent variable, to their experiment?

Answer 30

Force applied to the sponge

Question 31

What was the dependent variable, in their experiment?

Answer 31

The thickness of the sponge.

Question 32

What were the three control variables, for their experiment?

Answer 32

The type of sponge used
The shape of the weights
The surface under the sponge

Question 33

When on a line graph there is a result which is far of all the rest what do you call it.

Answer 33

Anomalous result
