Week beginning 2ndNov – Physics – Forces
Tier 3 Vocabulary Meaning
Force A push, pull or twist. Measured in Newtons (N)
Gravity The force of gravity prevents everything from floating away from Earth Magnetism The property of attraction displayed by magnets
Static electricity When two objects are rubbed together, electrons are transferred from one object to the other. One object becomes positive and the other negative Newton metre or
force metre
An instrument used to measure the force acting on an object.
Newton Unit of force, symbol N.
Weight This is the force acting on an objects mass. Weight is measured in Newtons (N).
Mass The amount of stuff (matter) something is made up of. Measured in kg.
Balanced force This happens when 2 forces are of the same size but are acting in opposite directions.
Unbalanced forces When 2 forces are acting on an object and one of the forces is greater than the other.
Tier 3 Vocabulary Meaning
Friction This occurs when 2 objects move past each other. Friction slows objects down.
Lubrication Oil is a good lubricator- it reduces the effect of friction
Hypothesis What you think is going to happen during an investigation and why Apparatus The equipment that you are going to use to carry out the investigation Reliability The quality of being trustworthy or of performing consistently well Conclusion The scientific word for burning.
Compression Happens when a material or object is squashed
Deformation A change in shape is called deformation. In general, the greater the force exerted, the greater the amount of deformation.
Extension This is the increase in length when something like a spring or elastic band stretches
Hooke’s Law A law that states that if you double the force of an object, the extension will also double.
pascal (Pa) A unit for pressure. 1 Pa = 1 N/m2.
pressure The amount of force pushing on a certain area.

YOU NEED TO LEARN THE TIER 3 VOCABULARY WORDS AND THEIR DEFINITIONS – YOU WILL BE TESTED ON THEM ON THURSDAY, IN WHICHEVER SCIENCE SUBJECT YOU HAVE FIRST THAT DAY.
Weight = mass x force of gravity
On Earth, the force of gravity is 10 N/kg.
So, a 2kg hammer on Earth would have a weight of 20N

Forces Revision Mat
If a bus is moving at a constant speed, the forces are balanced.
As the drag on a car decreases, it’s fuel consumption also decreases.
Drag is similar to friction but occurs when an object is travelling through a fluid (gas or liquid).
Forces can be a push, a pull or a twist. Forces can i) change the shape of an object
ii) change the speed of an object
iii) change the direction of a moving object
pressure = force ÷ area
A force of 20 N acts over an area of 4 m2. Calculate the
pressure.
pressure = force ÷ area
= 20 N ÷ 4 m2= 5 N/m2
The arrow pointing up denotes upthrust and the arrow pointing down denotes weight.
Force is measured in newtons.
How can you reduce the friction in a bicycle?
The pair of hands at the top shows compression and the pair of hands at the bottom shows tension.
The boy on ice will go faster as there is less friction.
k
One use and one problem of friction
Use – the brakes on a bike Problem –worn away soles on shoes
Lubricants can reduce the amount of friction
Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is measured in newtons.
Weight is a force caused by the pull of gravity.
ice grass
Speed
Air resistance
As the speed
increases, so does the amount of air
resistance.
The forwards push from the bus engine is more than the backwards force from friction and air resistance, so the speed of the bus will increase.

Pregnancy in mammals
While inside the uterus, the fetus is supplied with oxygen and food by the placenta. The placenta also gets rid of waste (especially carbon dioxide) from the fetus. The umbilical cord connects the fetus to the placenta.
If a mother smokes, drinks too much alcohol or takes drugs while pregnant, she might damage the baby. The baby might be premature.
Birth in mammals
•The uterus starts contractions and the woman goes into labour.
•The muscles of the cervix relax.
•The baby is pushed out head first through the cervix and the vagina.
•The baby starts to breathe and the umbilical cord is cut. The scar left behind is the navel.
•Then the placenta is pushed out of the uterus. This is the afterbirth.
The mother’s breasts contain mammary glands that produce milk to feed the baby. Breast milk contains all the nutrients that a baby needs and antibodies, which help destroy micro-organisms that might cause diseases.

The Feudal System
William I (William, Duke of Normandy) developed the Feudal System. He started by saying that all the land in England belonged to him, now known as Crown Lands.
However, he would lend it to trusted followers in exchange for their loyalty. The feudal system meant that William had a constant supply of money and loyalty, and still owned the land.

Create a piece of art work that demonstrates your understanding of Jennifer Judd McGee. (see example below) From the quote from the artist, take facts from this
quote to add to your artwork. Can you include you own opinions?
Hi, I am Jennifer Judd-McGee. I am a full time artist and mother to two fantastic and funny children. I work from my basement studio on Mount Desert Island, a beautiful place along the
coast of Maine. I’m a nature lover, obsessive doodler, path finder, and appreciator of paper, fine point pens and detailed patterns. I’m inspired on a daily basis by my coastal surroundings and close
proximity to Acadia National Park. My favourite mediums are papercutting, illustration and mixed
media collage, though lately I’ve taken a major shine to mono printing as well.
