BALANCED AND UNBALANCED FORCES WEIGHT AND MASS

FORCES
Force is a vector. This means it has __________ and What is the equation linking weight, mass and g?
________.
FRICTION
We represent forces with an ______________.
In what direction does Friction always act?
In each of the examples below, give the size and
direction of the resultant force. 1. What is the weight of an object with a mass of 120 kg
Describe an experiment to investigate the impact of surface type of friction. [You may wish on Earth?
to draw a diagram to help you]

6N 6N 7N 19N
2. An object Weighs 125N, what is it’s mass on Earth?

31N
6N

3. What is the value of g on a planet when you weigh

5N 600N when your mass is 125kg?
5N 8N
24N
HOOKE’S LAW AND ELASTIC BEHAVIOUR
18N
6N What is Hooke’s Law?

Can you represent it in a graph in the space below [don’t forget your axis labels!]

CENTRE OF GRAVITY

TYPES OF FORCES Define the Centre of Gravity:

In each example name the labelled force
What is Elastic Behaviour?
On the Object below draw an ‘x’ to show where the
centre of gravity is?
Draw a loading/unloading graph for an object which is:

Elastic Inelastic

Can you add a force arrow to represent the objects

weight?
