C Year 10 Forces, Movement and Shape

This document outlines key concepts in forces, movement, and shape for a 10th grade physics class. It includes definitions of important terms like force, mass, weight, velocity, and acceleration. It also describes relationships between these concepts, such as the formula relating unbalanced force, mass, and acceleration. Examples are provided for calculating resultant forces and acceleration. Principles of moments and factors affecting vehicle stopping distance are also defined. Students are asked to understand scalar and vector quantities as well as elastic behavior and Hooke's law.
