    The document discusses forces and their properties. It defines what a force is and different types of forces including contact and non-contact forces. It also discusses balanced and unbalanced forces and how they affect an object's motion or shape. Other topics covered include deformation, springs, drag forces, friction, and how friction can be reduced.

    Forces
    1. A force is an interaction (e.g. a push, pull or
    twist) between 2 objects.
    11. An object’s motion or shape does not change if
    2. A force can change an object’s shape, speed or
    the forces are balanced.
    direction.
    12. Unbalanced forces change an object’s shape,
    3. Forces are either contact or non-contact
    speed or direction.
    4. Contact forces need the objects to be
    touching.
    5. Examples of contact forces include: drag
    forces, friction, air resistance, tension and
    normal contact forces. 13. The unit of force is Newton (N).
    14. The resultant force on an object is the net
    force or the overall effect of all the forces
    acting on an object.

    15. When forces are balanced the resultant force is


    0N.
    6. Non-contact forces can act at a distance. They
    do not need the objects to be touching. 16.
    When
    7. Examples of non-contact forces include: the
    gravity, electrostatic attraction
    and magnetism.
    8. Forces have size and direction.
    forces are unbalanced the resultant force is not
    9. Forces acting on one object are 0N.
    represented by free-body force diagrams
    using arrows to show the direction and size

    Interaction Pairs
    17. Forces always act in interaction pairs.
    18. Interaction pairs act on 2 different objects.
    19. If A exerts a force on B, then B exerts a force
    on A. The forces are equal in size but
    Balanced and Unbalanced forces opposite in direction.

    10. Forces are balanced only when forces acting


    on the same object are equal in size but
    opposite in direction.

    Deformation
    20. Changing the shape of an object can be 32. To move a block along a surface, the forces
    called deformation. need to be unbalanced. The pulling force needs
    21. The extension of a spring is an example of
    deformation.
    22. The extension of a spring = final length-
    original length.
    23. The extension of spring can be measured to be just bigger than friction.
    when different weights are added.
    24. The extension is larger when more weight is
    added.

    33. Rougher
    surfaces generate more friction than smoother
    surfaces.
    Friction is reduced by adding a lubricant.

    25. If too much force is added, then a spring does


    not return to its original shape. The spring has
    reached its elastic limit.

    Drag Forces and friction


    26. Drag forces occur in fluids.
    27. Fluids are liquids and gases.
    28. Drag forces include water resistance and air
    resistance.
    29. Friction occurs between solids.
    30. Drag forces and friction are caused by
    interaction of 2 objects moving or trying to
    move over one another.
    31. Drag forces and friction act in the opposite
    direction to motion.
