Forces year 7 start of topic true or false and drawing force diagrams

Thrust, upthrust, gravity, magnetic, electrostatic, energy, friction, reaction are all types of force.

A force is basically a push or a pull or a twist

A force must always have a direction

Forces can make objects move faster, slow down

change direction, heat up

More than one force can act on an object at the same time

If forces are acting on an object then it must always move.

The reaction is equal and opposite to weight

Forces can be measured using a newton meter and the units of force are newtons

Name the forces acting on the objects

Draw the force(s) on the paracutist

Draw and label a force diagram to show a duck floating on the surface of the water

Draw and label a force diagram to show a box being pushed along the floor at constant

Draw and label a force diagram to show a car accelerating (speeding up)

Draw and label a force diagram to show a car travelling at constant speed

Draw and label a force diagram to show a car braking (slowing down)
