Forces and motion

To close the unit about forces, our class saw a very interesting GCSE video-lesson. Basically, it was focused
on three principal arguments:

- Moment

Moment is a physical quantity on which depends the rotation of an object. It’s defined by this equation:

Moment = Force × Distance from the point of rotation

Moment can easily be explained with the example of the spanner.

If we have to tighten a nut, it will be much easier if the spanner is longer.

Here’s why: moment and distance are directly proportional. This means that if the distance increases,
moment (again, the capabilty of an object to rotate) will increase too.

Moment is extremely important in physics, as it is a fundamental condition for equilibrium in an object,

along with momentum. In fact, the next topic of the video is entirely based on its principles.
