What are forces?
Make a copy of this document and save it in your Inquiry folder.
Slide 1:
Find the definition of what these forces are. Can you find two more examples of forces that exist in our world? List and explain them in the table below. Blog your findings with the WALT and a photo that demonstrates a force acting upon something.

Example of the force

Gravity
|
It means this…….Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall. ... So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth'sgravity comes from all its mass. All its mass makes a combined gravitational pull on all the mass in your body.
|
Gravity means Newton's second law of motion states that a force acting on an object will change its velocity by changing either its speed or its direction or both. If your basketball goes rolling into the street and is hit by a bike, either the ball will change direction or its speed or both.

Electromagnetism
|
electromagnetism. noun. The physics of electricity and magnetism. An interaction between electricity and magnetism, as when an electric current or a changing electric field generates a magnetic field, or when a changing magnetic field generates an electric field.
|
At the subatomic level, electromagnetism is related to the electromagnetic force that causes the attraction and repulsion of electrically charged particles. ... When electrically charged particles, such as electrons, are put into motion, they create a magnetic field.
|
Friction
|
Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: Dry friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact.
|
Answer : Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion between the two surfaces of objects in contact. The force of friction always acts in a direction opposite to that of the applied force.

These are the pictures of pull push.
Pull - Push
Highlight either ‘push’ or ‘pull’ to show what force is happening in each picture

Slide 3: Do forces change with speed?
Can you list some activities that gravity affects?
Forces is like you force yourself by driving a car and like forcing yourself by doing your homework and forcing yourself by cleaning,
When can you see or feel the effects of air resistance?
I feel that when I force myself to do it I have to and I force myself like sometimes.
Slide 4: All forces come in pairs!
Yep everything forces me like doing my work and cleannining.
