Flashcards

What is a Newton?

The unit used to measure force. It's named after Sir Isaac Newton, a famous physicist who studied forces.

What is a Newtonmeter?

A device that measures the strength of forces. It works by stretching when a force is applied.

What is a non-contact force?

A force that acts upon an object without physical contact. Air resistance is an example.

What is a contact force?

A force that requires physical contact to act. Magnetism is an example.

What is an interaction pair?

A pair of forces that always act on each other, and are equal in strength but opposite in direction.

Study Notes

Squashing and Stretching

  • Newton is the unit of force
  • Newton metre is the unit of force
  • Air resistance is a non-contact force
  • Magnetism is a non-contact force
  • Interaction pairs of forces

Force (N) vs Extension (mm)

  • 1 N = 4 mm (extension)

  • 2 N = 82 mm (extension)

  • 3 N = 107 mm (extension)

  • 4 N = 120 mm (extension)

  • 5 N = 152 mm (extension)

  • The higher the force, the more the extension will expand

  • Starting length = 53 cm
