Force
Force
A push or pull that can change an object's motion.
Balanced Forces
Balanced Forces
Forces that are equal in strength and opposite in direction. They cause no movement because they cancel each other out.
Unbalanced Forces
Unbalanced Forces
Forces that are unequal in strength and cause a change in an object's speed or direction.

Study Notes
Fluids and Viscosity
- Fluids are substances that can flow, including liquids and gases.
- Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow. High viscosity means a fluid flows slowly.
- Forces influence the motion and properties of fluids.
Force
- A force is anything that can cause a change in an object's motion (speed or direction).
- A force can be a push or a pull.
Balanced Forces
- Balanced forces are equal in strength and opposite in direction.
- Balanced forces don't cause a change in motion.
Unbalanced Forces
- Unbalanced forces are unequal in strength.
- Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion (speed or direction).
Mass vs. Weight
- Mass: Stays the same everywhere in the universe. Measured in kilograms (kg).
- Weight: A measure of the push or pull acting on an object. Measured in Newtons (N). Weight depends on gravity.
Buoyancy
- Buoyancy is the upward force on an object submerged in or floating on a fluid.
- An object that floats has neutral buoyancy. The buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Density & Buoyancy
- If an immersed object's density is greater than the fluid's density, the object sinks.
Average Density
- Average density = total mass / total volume.
Technologies Developed
- Personal flotation devices (PFDs)
- Submarines
- Hot air balloons
Pressure
- Pressure is the force acting on a certain area of a surface.
- The larger the force, the greater the pressure. The smaller the area, the greater the pressure.
Calculating Pressure
- The unit for pressure is the Pascal (Pa).
- Pressure = Force / Area
Sample Problems (Examples):
- An aquarium with 10,000 N of water on a 1.6 m2 base exerts 6,250 Pa pressure.
- Atmospheric pressure of 101,200 Pa on a 0.006 m2 palm exerts 607 N force.
- 4.9 N of water in a glass exerts 1700 Pa pressure on a 0.0029 m2 base.
Atmospheric Pressure
- The pressure exerted by air surrounding Earth.
Pascal's Law
- Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted equally throughout the container. Hydraulic and pneumatic devices are based on Pascal's Law.
Hydraulics
- The study of pressure in liquids.
- Hydraulic systems use liquids to transmit forces, such as in car lifts or brakes.
Pneumatic Systems
- Pneumatic systems use gases.
- Compressors are necessary because gases can be compressed/expanded and create/change air pressure
Pressure & Volume (Boyle's Law)
- Increasing pressure on a fluid decreases its volume by the same amount.
Temperature & Volume
- Increasing temperature increases a fluid's volume.
Temperature & Pressure
- Increasing temperature increases a fluid's pressure.
