What are forces?

  • A force is a push or pull that causes a change in speed, direction or shape.

  • Some forces are affected by speed, other forces are not.

  • All forces come in pairs, no force exists by itself.

THRUST

This can be any driving force, it may be a push or pull, but it could be an engine which forces an object forward.

Lift

This is the force required to raise an object through a fluid

5

Air Resistance

This is a force which acts in the air, it can slow objects down when they are moving against it. Or if harnessed could be used to move an object along.

6

Friction

This force acts on objects when they are in contact with a surface, such as the ground. It can be reduced by ensuring both surfaces are smooth.

7

Gravity

This force affects every object on Earth. It is a force which pulls everything to the centre of the Earth.

Upthrust

This is an upward force which acts in water, it acts on an object against gravity and is why certain objects float.
