1.

Name the following:

i) A force that tries to slow things down when two things rub
together: Friction
ii) A force from water that pushes things up: Upthrust
iii) A force that tries to slow things that are moving through air:
Air resistance
iv) Not moving: Stationary
v) When two forces working in opposite directions are not the
same strength: Unbalanced forces
vi) The amount of force on something from gravity. It is measured
in Newtons: Weight
vii) The unit of force (N): Newton
viii) The force of attraction between two objects: Gravity
ix) A push or a pull: Force
x) A piece of equipment containing a spring that is used to
measure forces: Spring balance
xi) They can attract and repel each other. They also attract things
made of iron: Magnets

2. Circle the best answer:

First Diagram: A. PULLING forces


B. OPPOSITE FORCES
C. NOT EQUAL
D. DO NOT balance each other
E. 1000 N TO THE RIGHT
F. THERE IS motion

Second Diagram: A. PULLING forces


B. OPPOSITE FORCES
C. NOT EQUAL
D. DO NOT balance each other
E. The stronger force is pulling to the RIGHT
F. The weaker force is pulling to the LEFT
G. Motion is to the RIGHT

3. Examples of pushing and pulling forces:

Pushing Force:

1. Pushing a door

2. Pushing a shopping cart


Pulling Force:

1. Tugging on a rope

2. Pulling a suitcase

4. Skiing and friction:

Does Jack need high or low friction while skiing?


Low friction.
Explanation: Low friction reduces resistance between the skis and the
snow, allowing smoother and faster movement.

5. Climbing and friction:

Where does Jill need high friction while climbing?


On her hands and feet.
Explanation: High friction helps her grip the surface firmly, preventing
slipping and allowing safe climbing.

6. Mountain biking and friction:

i) Draw circles around the tires and brake pads.


Explanation: Friction here is necessary for grip and stopping the bike.

ii) Draw a square around the chain and gears.


Explanation: Friction here should be low to ensure smooth pedaling.

iii) How to reduce friction: Lubricate the chain and gears.

7. Floating forces:

i) Label the forces: Weight and Upthrust


ii) What two forces affect you when you float? Weight and Upthrust
iii) When an object floats, the two forces are: The same size

8. Cyclist friction:

The force that stops the cyclist from skidding: Friction


Two forces slowing the cyclist: Air resistance and rolling resistance

9. Forces on a kayak:
A. Forward force from the paddle
B. Water resistance
C. Gravity
D. Upthrust

10. Effects of friction:

a. SD (Slows Down) moving objects.


b. WA (Wears Away) materials like brake pads.
c. H and N (Heat and Noise) are produced.
d. E (Elasticity): Something that can stretch and return to its shape.
e. G (Gravity): A force that pulls things down.
f. W (Weight): The force of gravity pulling down on something.

12. Name the forces:

i) A force that pulls you down: Gravity


ii) Force holding things on fridge doors: Magnetic force
iii) Force rubbing things away: Friction
iv) Force helping a ship float: Upthrust
v) Force needing contact: Contact force
vi) Force slowing down objects in air: Air resistance

13. Contact and Non-contact f.orces:

Contact Forces: Friction, Tension


Non-contact Forces: Gravity, Magnetic force

14. Diving and weight:

Why does the stone feel lighter underwater?


Upthrust from the water counteracts some of the stone's weight, making it
feel lighter.

16. Falling climber:

i) Force on falling climber: Gravity


ii) Forces on climber in C: Gravity and tension
iii) Are forces balanced or unbalanced? Unbalanced
iv) Falling speed of the climber: Increases
v) Forces in D: Balanced
18. Football forces:

(a) Draw arrows for air resistance and gravity.


(b) Draw arrows for normal force and weight.

20. True/False:

a) True
b) False
c) True
d) True
e) True
f) True
g) False
h) True
i) True
j) False
k) False
l) True
m) False
n) False

21. Force vs. Distance:

Describe the relationship:


As the starting force increases, the distance moved by the car also
increases.
