  1. Unit 6E: Forces in action

  2. Unit 6E: Forces in action Forces in action Opposite poles attract each other Like poles repel each other Unit 6E: Forces in action

  3. Unit 6E: Vocabulary Weight A force acting on a body due to gravity Gravity The force due to the Earth. The Moon also has gravity but it is much smaller. Upthrust A force upwards on an object when it is in water Newton The unit used to measure force Forcemeter The piece of equipment used to measure forces Stationary An object that is standing still or not moving Unit 6E: Vocabulary

  4. Unit 6E: Gravity What will happen to the band if a bigger weight is hung on it? What force is pulling the magnets together? What will happen if the car is pulled back further? What is slowing the parachute down? Unit 6E: Gravity : L.O. 2,3 : N.C. 4.2e

  5. Unit 6E: Gravity Weigh as many objects as you can using a force meter and record the results in a table Object Weight (N) Unit 6E: Gravity: L.O. 2,3 : N.C. 4.2e

  6. Unit 6E: Gravity Isaac Newton Unit 6E: Gravity : L.O. 1 : N.C. 4.2b

  7. Unit 6E: Forces on Objects Gravity Opposing force Unit 6E: Forces on Objects: L.O. 4,5 : N.C. 4.2e

  8. Unit 6E: Forces in Water Use a forcemeter to measure each object in air, and then suspended in water. Record both values in a table. Can you come to any conclusion from these results?Write down what your results tell you. Unit 6E: Forces in Water: L.O. 6,7,8 : N.C. 4.2b,d,e

  9. Fill in the second set of results in these two columns Unit 6E: Forces in Water Check your results by sharing results with someone else in the class and filling in the rest of your table. Do the results agree with each other? What do you think you could do if you have 2 results which are different? Unit 6E: Forces in Water: L.O. 9,10 : N.C. 1.2g

  10. What are you trying to find out? What will you measure? (the dependant variable) What will you change? (the independent variable) What will you keep the same? (the control variable) What equipment will you need? Unit 6E: Forces on an elastic band Investigation You are to investigate what happens to the length of an elastic band when weights are suspended from it. To help you with your planning answer the following questions: Unit 6E: Forces on an elastic band: L.O. 11,12,13 : N.C. 1.2d,e,f,g,h,i,j

  11. Amount of stretch Force Unit 6E: Forces on an elastic band Draw a diagram to show how your equipment was set up. Table of Results: Use your results to plot a line graph of ‘Force’ vs ‘Amount of stretch’ Unit 6E: Forces on an elastic band: L.O. 11,12,13 : N.C. 1.2d,e,f,g,h,i,j

  12. C A B Unit 6E: Explaining Forces Which piece of paper will fall most quickly? Can you explain why you think this? Unit 6E: Explaining Forces: L.O. 14,15 : N.C. 1.2l

  13. C A B Unit 6E: Explaining Forces Air resistance Unit 6E: Explaining Forces: L.O. 14,15 : N.C. 1.2l

  14. Unit 6E: Parachutes Investigation What variables could you change on the parachute? Select the one you would like to investigate- the dependent variable Unit 6E: Parachutes Investigation: L.O. 16,17,18,19 : N.C. 1.2d,e,f,g,h,i,j

  15. Unit 6E: Parachutes Investigation What will you measure? What variable will you change? What variable will you keep the same? What do you think will happen to your dependant variable when you change the independent variable? (this is your prediction) What apparatus will you use? You should draw a diagram to show how you will set up the equipment. How will you carry out your experiment? Unit 6E: Parachutes Investigation: L.O. 16,17,18,19 : N.C. 1.2d,e,f,g,h,i,j

  16. Unit 6E: Parachutes Investigation How will you record your results? What will you do with the recorded results to look for patterns and trends? What do your results show? Can you use a scientific explanation to describe why the results show this? Does this agree with your prediction? Could you have done the investigation any better? Unit 6E: Parachutes Investigation: L.O. 16,17,18,19 : N.C. 1.2d,e,f,g,h,i,j

  17. Unit 6E: Parachutes Investigation: Support On our parachute we could change the size of the parachute or the size of the weight hanging from it. For our investigation we will change the size of the parachute What will we need to keep the same? We will time the parachute falling to the ground. Where shall we drop it from? Unit 6E: Parachutes Investigation: L.O. 16,17,18,19 : N.C. 1.2d,e,f,g,h,i,j

  18. Time to fall to floor Size of parachute The graph tells us that as the parachute gets bigger the time it takes to fall gets ______________ This is because the amount of air resistance ______________ as the size of the parachute increases Unit 6E: Parachutes Investigation: Support How many different sizes should we try? Record the results in a table Plot the results on a graph Unit 6E: Parachutes Investigation: L.O. 16,17,18,19 : N.C. 1.2d,e,f,g,h,i,j
