7K FORCES
This study guide delves into the concepts of force, weight, and density, providing a thorough examination of their definitions, measurements, and relationships. It covers essential questions about different forces, the differences between weight and mass, and how to measure them effectively. Students will explore various experiments and demonstrations, including the effects of buoyancy and friction, along with practical applications. With clearly defined aims and conclusions, this guide supports comprehensive understanding of physical principles and their real-world implications.

Forces • Whatis a force? • Whatunitisforcemeasured in? • What do we use tomeasureforces?
FORCE STATIONS Go round thestations. Write at leasttwosentencesforeachstation.
Weight and mass • Whatistheunit of weight? • How can youmeasureweight? • Whatistheunit of mass? • How can youmeasuremass? • How do I changeweighttomassonearth?
Conclusion Level 3 • Whenthemassisbiggertheweight… Level 4 • Numberexamples e.g.whenthemassis 10g theweightis 0.1N Level 5 • Whydoesthishappen? • Can you describe thepatternusing a formula? Weight = …. • Are thereanyresultsthat do notfitthepattern?

Floatingorsinking • Whatforcealwaysactsdownwardonanobject (onearth)? • Whatforcepushes up onanobject in water?
Density • How do youcalculatedensity? • Whatistheunit of density? • Whatisdensity?
FINISH YOUR RESULTS TABLE Volume = L x H x D • Remember cm3 is the same as ml Density = mass(G) / volume (cm3) (/cm3) H D L
Conclusion Use these key words to explain what you have found out about floating and sinking. upthrust weight force float sink buoyancy density Less dense denser Which material would you use to make a float? Give 3 reasons why.
Density 2 • Doesdensitychangeifthereis a biggerorsmallerpiece of the material? • Howdoessalininty of wateraffectwhetheranobjectfloatsorsinks?

Friction • Whatisfriction? • Whatisfriction in air called? • Whatisfriction in watercalled?
Rubyourhandstogether • Can youfeelthefriction?
Friction and energy When friction occurs heat energy is produced Kinetic energy Heat energy
Friction • Friction is a force which opposes the motion of 2 objects • It makes it harder for things to slide • Friction can occur between solids, and for anything moving through a liquid or gas What examples of friction can you think of?

Friction 2 • When is friction useful? • When is friction not useful? • How can friction be reduced?
E.g. A bicycleFill in this table naming the parts of a bike where friction is wanted or not wanted.

Slick sliding soap practical You will be sliding soap down a slope, you will investigate how to make it slide further. • Aim: • Prediction: • Variables: Independent, dependent, control
Results- Homework • Plot a bar chart • Conclusion • Describe theresults: Withnothingthesoapwent ____cm Withoilthesoapwent ____cm. Withwaterthesoapwent ____cm. • Which had most friction? • Which had least friction?
