Forces and Representing Forces
Friction is a CONTACT force, the surfaces have to touch for the force to have an
effect.

Some forces exist where contact is not necessary;

Gravitational pull – an apple falling on your head or can

cause friction

Magnetism – a magnet attracting paper clips

Electrostatic forces – running water being attracted to a

charged plastic rod.

Friction always tries to slow moving objects

down. It makes things hard to move and gives
things ‘grip’. Sometimes this can be useful,
sometimes it is not.

Oil or grease acts as a lubricant, it fills the

‘ridges and valleys’ of the surface (when looked
at under a microscope). This means the
surfaces can move smoothly over one another,
without interlocking.

Work Done…. (Make a note of this key idea)

Work is the energy transfer that takes place when a force causes an object to
move.

work done = force applied × distance moved in direction of force

What is crucially important is to realise that no energy transfer takes place (in
that direction) when the motion is not in the direction of the force!

 work done is measured in joules (J)

 force is measured in Newtons (N)
 distance is measured in metres (m)

Structured Questions “Forces” Review….

1 Forces can involve pushes, pulls or turning. Forces appear whenever two
objects interact. 

1a Give two different examples each of pushing forces and pulling [4]
forces.

1b Describe the two forces involved when a large, heavy box rests [2]
on a flat floor.

1c Explain why the box, if it is left alone, does not move. [3]

1d What other forces appear if you try to move the box across the [3]
floor? (Harder)

1e Explain how a lubricant such as oil, can make the box easier to [4]
slide across the floor. (Harder)

Structured Answers “Forces” Review….
    M Level
1a Any two sensible answers for pushing, and two for pulling. Some examples are as follows:
 Pushing – shark pushing its teeth into prey, chair pushing up on you when you sit
down, person pushing a box.
 Pulling – a magnet pulling a piece of steel, the Sun’s gravity pulling on Earth, a horse 4 3
pulling a cart.

1b Gravity pulls down on the floor causing wgth and the floor pushes up on the box (Support) 2 4
1c The push of the box on the floor is exactly the same as the push of the floor on the box.
There are no other forces on the box, so it does not move. 3 5
1d The force of you pushing on the box makes it move. The force of friction from the floor
pushes back on the box. 3 6
1e In their answers students should be making connections between forces, the properties of
liquids, and pressure.
 Friction is caused by the interaction (roughness) of surfaces.
 The weight of the box causes the surfaces to be pushed into each other increasing the
interaction and making the box more difficult to slide.
 Particles in solids cannot easily move.
 The lubricant separates the surfaces by forming a layer in between them. 4 7/8
 The particles in a liquid can move past each other easily and so a smaller force is
required.
