A force can be a push or a pull.
Can change the appearance of an object.
Can move in different directions.
Name 4 examples of forces and explain:
Gravity:
Is a force that has "pulled" us to the ground, the bigger the mass of the object using it, the greater the force.
Friction:
When two surfaces rub against each other, friction is formed. It slows down the speed of cars when the tires rub against the road. Thus it can slow down the speed of the rubbing objects.
Magnetic Force:
It can attract two magnetic metals depending on what pole the two magnets are classified as. Magnetic force attracts north and south poles together. Repels two of the same kind of poles.
Acceleration:
Acceleration is basically the speed something travels at. The acceleration can be slow, fast, moderate, and can cause the object to move in any direction.
Units of Force:
Force is measured in Newtons
Equation of Force:
Mass(kg, etc.)*Acceleration(km/h, etc.)= Force(N)
