1
New cards

effect of forces between bodies such as changes in speed, shape or direction (1.11)

uh…. well….

2
New cards

friction (1.12)

occurs when two surfaces move across each other. frictional forces oppose motion, preventing two surfaces from sliding over each other

3
New cards

air resistance (1.12)

type of frictional force. air opposes the motion of the object, leading to air resistance - the faster the object is moving, the more air resistance it will experience

4
New cards

tension (1.12)

occurs when objects are stretched - usually happens in ropes, cables, string etc. when an object e.g. a ball is suspended from another object e.g. a rope, there are two forces involved: the force acting downwards and the tension force acting upwards in the rope to keep everything in place

5
New cards

normal contact force / reaction force (1.12)

occurs when objects are touching at rest. perpendicular to the surfaces in contact.

6
New cards

gravitational force (1.12)

attractive force. helps to define the weight of an object rather than just the mass.

7
New cards

electrostatic force (1.12)

occur between charges. electrostatic forces between opposite charges will lead to attraction, forces between similar charges will lead to repulsion

8
New cards

magnetic force (1.12).

occur due to electromagnetic forces. experienced when a charged particle moves in a magnetic field. opposite charges => attraction, similar charges => repulsion
