P4.2 What are Forces?
17/07/2015
Introduction to Forces
17/07/2015
A force is a “push” or a “pull”. Some common examples:
Weight (mg) – pulls
things towards the
centre of the Earth
Air resistance/drag – a contact
force that acts against anything
moving through air or liquid
Friction – a contact force
that acts against anything
moving
Upthrust – keeps things afloat
Paired forces
17/07/2015
The Earth pulls Newton down with a
gravitational force of 700N.

Newton pulls the Earth up with a
gravitational force of 700N.
Action and reaction are equal
and opposite!!
Free body force diagrams
17/07/2015
Consider a man on a sloping table:
Notice that the reaction force
always pushes up on the object
and the friction force always acts
up the slope!
Free body force diagrams
17/07/2015
1) Draw a free body force diagram
for a ladder against a wall.
2) A car pulls a caravan along the
M25. Draw a free body force
diagram for the caravan.
3) Draw a free body force diagram
for a 4-wheel drive car driving up
the M1.
4) Draw a free body force diagram
for a 2-wheel drive (engine at the
front) car driving up the M1 as well.

Action and Reaction in Rockets
Consider a rocket leaving the Earth’s atmosphere:
A chemical reaction happens
inside the rocket that ______
out exhaust gases. There is an
equal and ______ reaction to
this force – this _______ acts
on the rocket and pushes it
_______. The same process
happens in ____ engines.
Words – jet, pushes, reaction,
upwards, opposite
P4.3 Forces and Movement

Balanced and unbalanced forces
Consider a camel standing on a road.
What forces are acting on it?
Reaction
These two forces would be equal –
we say that they are BALANCED.
The camel doesn’t move anywhere.
Weight
17/07/2015
Balanced and unbalanced forces
Reaction
What would happen if we took the
road away?
Weight
Air Resistance
17/07/2015
Air resistance is a force that opposes motion through air. The
quicker you travel, the bigger the air resistance:
The same applies to a body falling through a liquid (called
“drag” or “upthrust”).
Balanced and unbalanced forces
17/07/2015

________ or moving

either _______ or moving
with ________ ______..

Momentum
Any object that has both mass and
velocity has MOMENTUM. Momentum
(symbol “p”) is simply given by the formula:
P
Momentum = Mass x Velocity
(in kgm/s)
(in kg)
(in m/s)
M
V
What is the momentum of the following?
1) A 1kg football travelling at 10m/s
2) A 1000kg Ford Capri travelling at 30m/s
3) A 20g pen being thrown across the room at 5m/s
4) A 70kg bungi-jumper falling at 40m/s
10kgm/s

0.1kgm/s
2800kgm/s
17/07/2015
Force and change in momentum
To calculate the change the momentum of an object you need
to know two things – how much force acts and how long it acts
for:
Force = Change in momentum (in kgm/s)
(in N)
mv-mu
Time (in s)
F
T
For example, Ronaldo takes a free kick by kicking a stationary football with
a force of 40N. If the ball has a mass of 0.5kg and his foot is in
contact with the ball for 0.1s calculate:
1) The change in momentum of the ball (its impulse),
2) The speed the ball moves away with
Example questions

of 80N. If the ball has a mass of 200g and the club is in
contact with it for 0.2s calculate a) the change in
momentum of the golf ball, b) its speed.
16Kgm/s,
80m/s
2) Courtney thinks it’s funny to hit tennis balls at Kit. She
strikes a serve with a force of 30N. If the ball has a

4.5Kgm/s,
18m/s
3) Tom takes a dropkick by kicking a 0.4kg rugby ball away at
10m/s. If his foot was in contact with the ball for 0.1
seconds calculate the force he applied to the ball.

applied a force of 50N calculate how long her club was in
contact with the ball for.
0.2s

Safety features
Let’s use this equation to explain how airbags work:
mv
F
T
Basically:
1) The change in momentum is the same with or without an
airbag
2) But having an airbag increases the time of the collision
3) Therefore the force is reduced
Terminal Velocity
Consider a skydiver:
1) At the start of his jump the air
resistance is _______ so he
_______ downwards.
2) As his speed increases his air
resistance will _______
3) Eventually the air resistance will be
big enough to _______ the
skydiver’s weight. At this point
the forces are balanced so his
speed becomes ________ - this is
called TERMINAL VELOCITY
Words – increase, small,
constant, balance, accelerates
17/07/2015

P4.4 Describing Motion with Energy Changes
Kinetic energy
17/07/2015
Any object that moves will have kinetic energy.
The amount of kinetic energy an object has can be found using
the formula:
Kinetic energy = ½ x mass x velocity squared
in J
in kg
KE =
½
in m/s
mv2
Example questions
1) Bex drives her car at a speed of 30m/s. If
the combined mass of her and the car is
1000kg what is her kinetic energy?
2) Emma rides her bike at a speed of 10m/s. If
the combined mass of Emma and her bike is
80kg what is her kinetic energy?
3) Rob is running and has a kinetic energy of
750J. If his mass is 60kg how fast is he
running?
4) Josh is walking to town. If he has a kinetic
energy of 150J and he’s walking at a pace of
2m/s what is his mass?
17/07/2015
450,000J
4000J

Gravitational Potential Energy
17/07/2015
To work out how much gravitational potential energy
(GPE) an object gains when it is lifted up we would use
the simple equation…
GPE
(Joules)
=
Weight
(newtons)
x
Change in height
(metres)
GPE
(Remember - W=mg)
mg
H
Some example questions…
17/07/2015
How much gravitational potential energy have the following
objects gained?:
1.
A brick that weighs 10N lifted to the top of a house
(10m),
100J
2. A 1,000kg car lifted by a ramp up to a height of 2m,
20KJ
3. A 70kg person lifted up 50cm by a friend.
350J
How much GPE have the following objects lost?:
1.
A 2N football dropping out of the air after being kicked
up 30m,
60J
2. A 0.5N egg falling 10m out of a bird nest,
5J
3. A 1,000kg car falling off its 200cm ramp.
20KJ
17/07/2015
Work done
When any object is moved around work will need to be
done on it to get it to move (obviously).
We can work out the amount of work done in moving an
object using the formula:
Work done = Force x distance moved
in J
in N
W
in m
F
D
Example questions
1.
Hannah pushes a book 5m along the table with a force of
5N. She gets tired and decides to call it a day. How much
work did he do?
2. Courtney lifts a laptop 2m into the air with a force of 10N.
How much work does she do? What type of energy did the
book gain?
3. Tom does 200J of work by pushing a wheelbarrow with a
force of 50N. How far did he push it? What type of
energy did the wheelbarrow gain?
17/07/2015
25J
20J,
GPE
4m, KE
4. Dan cuddles his cat and lifts it 1.5m in the air. If he did
75J of work how much force did he use?
50N
5. Simon drives his car 1000m. If the engine was producing a
driving force of 2000N how much work did the car do?
2MJ
Stopping a car…
What happens inside the car when it stops?
In order to stop this car the
brakes must “do work”. This work
is used to reduce the kinetic
energy of the vehicle.
Amount of energy transferred =
work done
17/07/2015
An example question…
17/07/2015
This car can apply a maximum braking
force of 10,000N. If the car’s mass
is 1000Kg how far is its stopping
distance when it is travelling at a
speed of 15m/s (roughly 30mph) and
30m/s (roughly 60mph)?
15m/s = 11.25m stopping distance
30m/s = 45m stopping distance (4 times greater)
17/07/2015
A Practical Example of Doing Work
Consider a rocket re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere:
The rocket would initially have
a very high _______ energy.
This energy would then _____
due to friction caused by
collisions with _______ in the
atmosphere. These collisions
would cause the rocket to ____
up (_____ is “being done” on
the rocket). To help deal with
this, rockets have special
materials that are designed to
lose heat quickly.
Words – work, kinetic,
particles, heat, decrease
17/07/2015
Energy Changes in Roller Coasters
1) Electrical energy is
transferred into gravitational
potential energy
3) Kinetic energy is
transferred back
into gravitational
potential energy
2) Gravitational potential
energy is transferred into
kinetic energy
Dropping objects
17/07/2015
If I drop this ball 1m how fast will it be going
when it hits the floor?
Use GPE at top = Kinetic energy at bottom
mgh = ½mv2
gh = ½v2
10 x 1 = ½ x v2
v2 = 20
v = 4.5m/s
1m
Some Questions…
17/07/2015
1) Energy is always conserved, so what happens to the
electrical energy eventually?
2) If the height of the drop was 100m and assuming there was
a 100% conversion from gravitational to kinetic energy, how
fast was the car moving at the bottom of the ramp?
