    Study Notes

    Forces

    • A force is a push or pull and is measured in newtons (N).
    • A spring balance (newtonmeter) can be used to measure small forces.
    • The greater the force, the further the spring is stretched.

    Types of Forces

    • Tension: The force in a stretched material.
    • Weight: The downward pull of gravity.
    • Friction: The force that resists motion between surfaces in contact.
    • Air Resistance: A type of friction caused by air.

    Gravitational Force

    • The Earth exerts a downward pull on objects.
    • This pull is called a gravitational force.
    • All masses attract each other.
    • The stronger the mass, the stronger the force.
    • The closer the masses, the stronger the force.

    Weight and Gravitational Field Strength

    • Weight is the gravitational force from the Earth.
    • Weight is measured in newtons (N).
    • On Earth, each kilogram (kg) of matter weighs 10 N.
    • The gravitational field strength on Earth is 10 N/kg, represented by g.
    • The formula to calculate weight is: weight = mass x g
      • Where g is 10 N/kg on Earth.
    • For example, a person with a mass of 50kg weighs 500N (50kg x 10 N/kg).

    Question 3

    • The diagram should show a climber swinging on a rope, with three forces labelled:
      • Tension: The upward force from the rope.
      • Weight: The downward force due to gravity.
      • Air Resistance: The force opposing the climber's movement through the air.
