forces
TRANSCRIPT
List the types of forces. Identify the forces. Difference between balanced and unbalanced
force. State the Hooke’s law
air resistance upthrust electrostatic magnetic gravitational nuclear forces
Air resistance is an example of friction. It is the resistance of the air to things moving through it.
Streamlined objects easily push the air out of the way. They have a low air resistance.
Objects that are not streamlined have a high air resistance.
Air cannot flow around them and this can cause turbulence.
Which bunny will fall to the ground quickest and why?
12
2
1
Loser !
Roadkill !
Bunny 1 will hit the ground sooner due to decreased airresistance. However bunny 2 will have a smoother landing.
What’s upthrust?
Upthrust is a force that only exists in liquids, such as lakes, oceans, swimming pools and even cups of tea!
It is a push that always goes straight up, against the direction of gravity.
It pushes UP! That’s why it’s
called Upthrust.
Upthrust in action
This boat has gravity pushing it down, and the upthrust of the water pushing up.Because the forces are balanced, the ship floats.
Upthrust
Gravity
More examples of upthrust
If you let go of your drinking straw, it floats up and sometimes tries to bob out of the glass!
normal reaction forces at the wheels, the upward push on the car from the ground
push on the car by the man
friction opposing the motion
weight, the downward pull of gravity on the car
What forces do you think are working here?
Hooke’s law states that the extension of the spring is proportional to the force.
HOOKE”S LAW
By Friction
Electrons (-) only are able to travel
The forces between the charge is called electrostatic force
