1 New title page ENERGY

2 DO NOW Q1. Define a force? Q2. What is the unit for force and its symbol?

3 Do Now (Answers) Q1. Define a force? A force is a push or pull. Forces make objects start or stop moving Q2. What is the unit for force and its symbol? Forces are measured in Newtons and its symbol is N.

4 SLO’s for today At the end of this lesson I should be able to: 1. Define a force and its units. 2. Recognise how unbalanced force affects movement. 3. Calculate speed from distance and time values. 4. Plot distance and speed versus time graphs for movement.

5 Forces overview

6 Revision from Y9 1. Effects of a force? 2. Different types of forces? 3. Measuring forces? 4. Balanced and unbalanced forces: Definition and examples

7 Introduction  Forces are pushes or pulls. Sometimes forces make an object change its motion.  Forces can change the direction and the speed of moving objects.  A force has a size and a direction. The size is measured in newtons while arrows is used to show the direction of a force.  Different types of forces are: field forces and contact forces.  Magnetism and gravity are examples of field forces and friction and tension are examples of contact forces.

8 Balanced forces When the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object does not accelerate: The object will either be: * stationary * travelling at a steady speed in a straight line. E.g: Resting object, forces on a moving speed boat

9 Movement P28/29 1.If the forces acting on an object are balanced it will be moving with a constant speed in a straight line or stationary. 2.If the forces acting on an object are unbalanced then it will be accelerating. 3.Newton (N) 4.N/A 5.(a) 5 ms -1 (b) 4 ms -1 (c) 14 ms -1 (d) 250 ms -1 6.(a) Stationary (b) The steepness is a measure of the speed. (c) A curved line shows changing speed (acceleration).
