Unbalanced Forces

Forces acting on an object cause a change in its direction because they don't cancel out.

New cards
31

Balanced Forces

Forces acting on an object that cancel each other out.

New cards
32

Pressure Formula

Force / area

New cards
33

One pascal

1 N/m squared

New cards
34

Liquid Pressure Formula

Depth x gravity x height

New cards
35

Centrepital Force

Tension, weight due to gravity, and friction

New cards
36

Gravity Formula

weight / mass

New cards
37

Weight formula

mass x gravity

New cards
38

Friction

A force that slows objects down when it rubs with something else.

New cards
39

Upthrust

A force from water that pushes things up

New cards
40

Air resistance

A force that slows things down when moving through the air.

New cards
41

Stationary

Non-moving

New cards
42

Unit of force

Newton

New cards
43

Weight

A large force of gravity that pulls things towards it, causing this force on an object.

New cards
44

Newton Meter

Used to measure forces.

New cards
45

Lift

The upward force that keeps an aeroplane in the air.

New cards
46

Lubricant

Used to reduce friction

New cards
47

Drag

Air and water resistance can be referred to as this force that pushes things back.

New cards
48

Deceleration

When drag is bigger than weight

New cards
49

Constant speed

No resultant force acting on an object.

New cards
50

Normal Contact Force

The force that exists between any two surfaces in contact with each other.

New cards
51

Tension Force

The force that acts in a direction to return the object to its original shape.

New cards
52

Thrust

The force that is the push of a jet engine. Acts opposite where the blast comes from.

New cards
53

Unpthrust

The force that allows an object to float in a fluid. When and object is under the fluid, the force points towards the top of the fluid.
