  • ________ is all about the interaction between objects.
    force
  •  15
  • Are forces that act between two objects that are physically touching each other.
    contact forces
  •  15
  • Two objects sliding past each other experience ___________ forces.
    friction
  •  15
  • An object moving through the air experiences ______ __________. For example, a skydiver falling through the air.
    air resistance
  •  15
  • ______________forces are forces that act between two objects that are not physically touching each other.
    non-contact
  •  15
  • Examples of non-contact forces include:
    Magnetic force, Electrostatic force, Gravitational force
  •  15
  • Like charges
    repel
  •  15
  • opposite charges
    attract

  • Calculate the gravity force (weight) of a skydiver with a mass 70 kg falling towards the Earth? (Remember that gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg on Earth).
    700 N
  •  15
  • The force that the Earth exerts on objects.
    weight
  •  15
  • It is important to remember that weight is not the same as mass. The weight of a person of the same mass is larger on earth due to the
    earth's stronger gravity
  •  15
  • If the force of gravity (weight) of a person on earth is 600 N, what will be his weight on the moon? Remember: The moon has 1/6 gravity of the earth.
    100 N
  •  15
  • The ____________ is an instrument that is used to measure force.
    spring balance
  •  15
  • The force of gravity (weight) ________________ as the mass increases. [increases or decreases]
    increases
  •  15
  • What happens to your mass on the moon? [increases, remains the same, decreases]
    remains the same
  •  15
  • The hair on our arms are attracted to the plastic wrap. What type of force is this?
    electrostatic force
