When a force causes an object to move, work is being done on the object by the force. So when work is done, energy has been transferred from one energy store to another. Forces can make objects turn if there is a pivot, the turning effect is called a moment. In this topic, you will study how to calculate work done and moments, as well as how moments are used in everyday objects such as levers and machines.
Task 1: Use look,cover,write,check and quizlet to make sure you are familiar with the key vocabulary for this topic.
Task 2a: Enjoy the song.
Which very important idea is it reminding you of?
Task 2b: Watch the video about forces.
Quick check before you go on:
What do unbalanced forces make objects do? (click the arrow on the right to check your answer)
Accelerate - change speed or direction. Don't just say move because objects with balanced forces acting on them can be either stationary or moving at a constant speed in a straight line.
Task 2d make notes that:
List the 7 energy stores
List the key information from slide 9
List the 4 energy transfer methods
Draw an energy transfer diagram to show what is happening as the rocket is launched on slide 12
List the key information from slide 15
Draw force diagrams to show the forces acting on the rockets on slide 17
Calculate the resultant forces and describe what would happen to the astronauts on slide 19
