FORCES
The basics
What is a force?
12/01/2017
A force is a “push” or a “pull” acting on an object. Some common examples:
________ – pulls
things downwards
_____ – acts against
anything moving
___ ________ (drag) – acts
against anything moving through air
______ – keeps things afloat
Words – upthrust, air resistance, friction, weight
There are many different names
given to forces
THRUST( OR PUSH): force applied to make
an object move
 FRICTION: force which opposes
movement, usually heat is generated
 SUPPORT (or reaction): force keeping
objects from falling against gravity
 WEIGHT:
force due to gravity
 AIR RESISTANCE: force due to friction on
an object falling through air
Forces can cause an object to

Change SHAPE
Change SPEED

Effect of force
• Make a stationary object move
Effect of force
– Change the speed of a body
Effect of force
– Change the direction of motion of a
body without its speed
Effect

• Change the shape and size of a body

is a reactive force”

1st Law- law of inertia
Objects that are stationary stay staionary unless
an unbalanced force is applied.
An object that is moving (at a constant speed)
will stay this way unless an unbalanced force is
applied.
2nd law- Force = mass x acceleration
The size of a force is dependent on the mass of
the object and the rate it can accelerate.
Examples

Suggest what will happen in these scenarios.
1. If the mass of a car is halved. How will this
effect the rate of acceleration (if the force is
kept the same)?
2. If the object can accelerate faster and the
mass is the same. What size must the force be
in comparison?
3. If less force is applied to an object how will
this effect acceleration (if the mass is kept the
same)?
Force and acceleration

If the forces acting on an object
are unbalanced then the object will
accelerate, like these wrestlers:
Force (in N) = Mass (in kg) x Acceleration (in m/s2)

Force, mass and acceleration
12/01/2017
1) A force of 1000N is applied to push
a mass of 500kg. How quickly does
it accelerate?
F
2) A force of 3000N acts on a car to
make it accelerate by 1.5m/s2. How
heavy is the car?
3) A car accelerates at a rate of
5m/s2. If it weighs 500kg how
much driving force is the engine
applying?
4) A force of 10N is applied by a boy
while lifting a 20kg mass. How
much does it accelerate by?

MASS
Mass is the amount of matter in an
object.
Mass is measured in kilograms (kg).
Mass is constant anywhere in the
universe.
For the mass of an object to change it
must lose or gain matter.
weight
Weight is the force of gravity acting on
a mass.
Weight is measured in Newtons (N).
Larger gravity means larger weight
force.
On earth a one kg mass has a weight of
10N.
How to calculate Weight
• This can be calculated by:
• F gravity= mass X gravity
» Where gravity is 10N Kg -1
» What does that mean?
» Multiply any mass by 10 to convert into
weight!

Alien Gravity
Use the boxes to help you work out the weight of the alien.
My mass is 50kg. If
gravity on Earth is
10m/s2, what is my
weight?
Weight = mass x gravity
= _______kg x ______m/s2
= ________ N
Weight = mass x gravity
= 50 kg x 10 m/s2
= 500 N
My mass is
still 50kg. But
how much do I
weigh here?
Gravity = 30N/kg
= 30Nkg-1
Weight = mass x gravity
= _______kg x _____N/kg
= ________ N
Weight = mass x gravity
= 50 kg x 30 N/kg
= 1500 N
More Alien Gravity
On this small
moon I only
weigh 75N. I
wonder what
the gravity
is?
g = 12 m/s2
Weight = mass x gravity
= 50 kg x 12 m/s2
= 600 N
Gravity
= _______
/ ________
Gravity
=
weight
/ mass
= _______N / ______kg
2
= 75
/ 50 kg
= ________
m/sN
= 1.5 m/s2
More Alien Gravity
On this planet,
I weigh 750N.
My brother
weighs 600N.
What’s my
mass?
Gravity = weight / mass
= 750 N / 50 kg
= 15 m/s2
Mass = weight / gravity
= 600 N / 15 m/s2
= 40kg
Hint :- Use the weight and mass of the
first alien to find the gravity of the
planet. Then use that to find the mass
of his brother.
Pressure
• Pressure is a measure of how
much force is pushing on a
certain area.
P
• It can be calculated by:
12/01/2017
F
Pressure (in Pa) = Force (in N) / Area (in m2)
• P=F/A
• The unit for pressure is
Pascals (Pa), but the
measurements are often large
so kPa are common (KiloPascal)
A
Worked example
12/01/2017
• Calculate the pressure acting on the
tyres of a car if the area per tyre is
0.12m2. The mass of the car is
1700Kg.
Explaining pressure
12/01/2017
• Use the variables in the formula for
pressure to explain what is happening.
• E.g if a person stands on two feet and tries
to balance on one foot how would the
pressure on the ground (or one foot)
change?
• 1. Has the area changed?
• 2. Has the force changed?
• 3. Has the pressure changed as a result?

The ULTIMATE energy source
The sun is the ultimate source of all our energy.
For example, we often get energy from beef:
BEEF comes from COWS,
COWS eat GRASS,
GRASS gets energy from the sun by PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Energy changes
12/01/2017
To describe an energy change for a
light bulb we need to do 3 steps:
1) Write down the
starting energy:
3) Write down
what energy types
are given out:
2) Draw an arrow
Electricity
Light + heat
What are the energy changes for the following…?
1) An electric heater
2) A rock that is dropped
3) An arrow that is fired
Conservation of Energy
12/01/2017
Energy CANNOT be created or destroyed but passed on
from one form to another.
e.g. a light bulb:
Electricity
Light
+
heat
In this example HEAT is wasted – it’s given to the
surroundings. Waste energy is virtually always
heat and it’s always given to the surroundings.

Gravitational Potential Energy
12/01/2017
This is how much stored energy in an object
Potential energy (Ep)= Mass (m) x Gravity (g) x Height (h)
g on earth is about 10ms-2 and h = the height you climb
OR Ep=mgh
E = Energy (in joules/J)
m = mass (in kilograms)
Ep
m
g
h = height (metres)
h
g = acceleration (ms-2)
Worked example
12/01/2017
A rock with a mass of 120Kg sits at the top of a cliff
15m in height.
Calculate the amount of potential energy in the rock.
Ep= mgh
= 120x10x15
= 18000J

Kinetic Energy (Ek)
• A form of energy that a body in motion
possess.
• A body at rest will not possess any Ek.
• Examples:
– Bullet shot out from pistol
– Helicopter flying at 120km/h
41
Kinetic Energy (Ek)
• The amount of Ek of a moving body
depends on its:
– Mass (kg) and
– Velocity (ms-1)
• When either mass or velocity of moving
body is increased, Ek will also increase.

causes the object to move in the same
direction as the force applied.

More Examples of WORK
• You are helping to push your mother’s heavy
shopping cart with a force of 50 N for 200 m.
What is amount of work done?
Work done,
W= F x d
= 50 x 200
= 10,000 J
or
10 kJ (kilo-Joules)
64
More Examples of WORK:
• Jack put on his bag-pack of weight 120 N. He
then starts running on level ground for 100 m
before he started to climb up a ladder up a
height of 10 m. How much work was done?
From Physics point of view, no work is done on pack at
level ground. Reason: Lift is perpendicular to movement.
Work is done on pack only when Jack climbs up the ladder.
Work done, W = F x d
= 120 x 10
= 1200 J or 1.2 kJ
65
Work done to lift an object=
gravitational potential energy
gained
• Force to lift an object = force of
gravity = weight
• Work = force x distance
= force of gravity x distance
= weight x distance
= mass x gravity x distance
= mass x gravity x height
= gravitational potential energy
