🟦 [F-2] I can name the relevant force(s) given a situation

Front

What is an applied force?

Back

An applied force is any force that is applied to an object by a person or another object, typically through pushing or pulling.

Front

What is the force of gravity?

Back

The force of gravity is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other, causing objects to fall towards the Earth.

Front

What is normal force?

Back

Normal force is the support force exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object, such as a chair supporting a person sitting on it.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another surface.

Front

What is tension force?

Back

Tension force is the force that is transmitted through a string, rope, or wire when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends.

Front

What is magnetic force?

Back

Magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles due to their motion.

Front

What happens when two objects collide?

Back

When two objects collide, they exert forces on each other, which can be classified as applied forces.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (W = mg).

Front

How does friction affect motion?

Back

Friction opposes motion, making it harder for objects to slide past each other, which can slow down or stop moving objects.

Front

What is the role of normal force in everyday life?

Back

Normal force supports objects at rest on surfaces, preventing them from falling through, such as a book resting on a table.
