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.

8

Upthrust

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