Force

Grade 6

 Force
:

Force is something that changes motion, speed,

.direction and shape

Force helps us to run, stand-up, write, open

. drink cans, and play sport

*(Your bike as it goes downhill (acceleration

*( As you put on your brake (deceleration
*As you go around a corner (change the
( direction
*(AS you depress Ping-Pong (change the shape

Contact Forces still touch the object that they

are affecting

Friction, air resistance and buoyancy are

Contact Forces

* *

Non-Contact Forces are invisible forces and

don't touch the object that they are affecting

* *

Gravity, magnetism and electricity are nonContact Forces

.Force is measured by Spring Scale

.All forces are measured in newton
. The unit Newton is abbreviated to N
