Balanced and unbalanced forces
Consider a camel standing on a road. What forces are acting on it?
Weight
Reaction
These two forces would be equal – we say that they are BALANCED. The camel doesn’t move anywhere.
Newton’s First Law

Balanced and unbalanced forces
What would happen if we took the road away?
The camel’s weight is no longer balanced by anything, so the camel falls downwards…

Force and accelerationIf the forces acting on an object are unbalanced then the object will accelerate, like these wrestlers:
Force (in N) = Mass (in kg) x Acceleration (in m/s2)
F

Terminal VelocityConsider a skydiver:
1) At the start of his jump the air resistance is _______ so he _______ downwards.
2) As his speed increases his air resistance will _______
3) Eventually the air resistance will be big enough to _______ the skydiver’s weight. At this point the forces are balanced so his speed becomes ________ - this is called TERMINAL VELOCITY
![Page 11: Unit 1: Forces](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813b27550346895da3e7a9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Terminal VelocityConsider a skydiver:
4) When he opens his parachute the air resistance suddenly ________, causing him to start _____ ____.
5) Because he is slowing down his air resistance will _______ again until it balances his _________. The skydiver has now reached a new, lower ________ _______.

The force on object A = Fba
The force on object B= Fab
Fba Fab
AB
Newton’s 3rd Law
![Page 14: Unit 1: Forces](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813b27550346895da3e7a9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Fba = Fab
Because both skaters are free to move the push on one is the same as the push on the other so the forces on each of them are balanced so they push each other away.
![Page 15: Unit 1: Forces](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813b27550346895da3e7a9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
But………….
If we replace one skater with a wall
Fba
B
Fab
A
Friction force
![Page 16: Unit 1: Forces](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813b27550346895da3e7a9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
But hold on this is making my head hurt again…………
Fab is the force on the skater
This pushes her back as there’s no friction
Fba and friction force act on the wall in opposite directionsThe friction force balances the push of the skater so wall doesn’t move

Weight vs. MassEarth’s Gravitational Field Strength is 10N/kg. In other
words, a 1kg mass is pulled downwards by a force of 10N.
W
gM
Weight = Mass x Gravitational Field Strength
(in N) (in kg) (in N/kg)
1) What is the weight on Earth of a book with mass 2kg?
2) What is the weight on Earth of an apple with mass 100g?
3) Dave weighs 700N. What is his mass?
4) On the moon the gravitational field strength is 1.6N/kg. What will Dave weigh if he stands on the moon?

Friction1) What is friction?
2) Give 3 examples where it is annoying:
3) Give 3 examples where it is useful:
4) What effect does friction have on the surfaces?
![Page 19: Unit 1: Forces](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813b27550346895da3e7a9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Work doneWhen any object is moved around work will need to be done on it to get it to move (obviously).
We can work out the amount of work done in moving an object using the formula:
Work done = Force x distance moved
in J in N in m
W
DF
![Page 20: Unit 1: Forces](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813b27550346895da3e7a9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Kinetic energyAny object that moves will have kinetic energy.
The amount of kinetic energy an object has can be found using the formula:
Kinetic energy = ½ x mass x velocity squared
in J in kg in m/s
KE = ½ mv2
![Page 21: Unit 1: Forces](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813b27550346895da3e7a9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Some example questions…
1) A 70kg boy is running at about 10m/s. What is his kinetic energy?
2) A braking force of 1000N is applied by a driver to stop his car. The car covered 50m before it stopped. How much work did the brakes do?
3) What is the kinetic energy of a 100g tennis ball being thrown at a speed of 5m/s?
4) A crane is lifting a 50kg load up into the air with a constant speed. If the load is raised by 200m how much work has the crane done? (The answer isn’t 10,000J)

Gravitational Potential EnergyTo work out how much gravitational potential energy (GPE) an object gains when it is lifted up we would use the simple equation…
GPE = Weight x Change in height
(Joules) (newtons) (metres)

2. A 10,000N car lifted by a ramp up to a height of 2m,
3. A 700N person lifted up 50m by a ski lift.
How much GPE have the following objects lost?:
1. A 2N football dropping out of the air after being kicked up 30m,
2. A 0.5N egg falling 10m out of a bird nest,
3. A 10,000N car falling off its 2m ramp.
4. A 60kg student when bungie-jumping off a 110-metre high bridge

Efficiency
Efficiency is a measure of how much USEFUL energy you get out of an object from the energy you put INTO it.
Efficiency = Useful energy given out by the device
Energy put into it
e.g. if 2000 joules of electrical energy are put into a kettle and 500 joules of heat energy are gained from it, its efficiency is 500/2000 x 100% = 25%
x100%

Some examples of efficiency…
1) 5000J of electrical energy are put into a motor. The motor converts this into 100J of movement energy. How efficient is it?
2) A laptop can convert 400J of electrical energy into 240J of light and sound. What is its efficiency? Where does the rest of the energy go?
3) A steam engine is 50% efficient. If it delivers 20,000J of movement energy how much chemical energy was put into it?
![Page 26: Unit 1: Forces](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813b27550346895da3e7a9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Power
Power is the rate of energy transfer
Power = Energy transferred ÷ time to transfer
Remember, energy transferred = work done = Force x distance moved
So Power = force x (distance ÷ time) = force x velocity
![Page 27: Unit 1: Forces](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813b27550346895da3e7a9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Efficiency practicalTotal input power = Force x velocityThis equals useful power PLUSWork done against friction
UsefulPower = force x velocity
Efficiency = (useful power ÷ total input power) x 100%
