Understanding Forces in Physics Experiments

Explore definitions of force, friction, and inertia through a simple experiment involving kicking a ball. Learn how forces affect motion and interact with different surfaces. Discover the concept of inertia and its role in keeping objects in motion or at rest.

  2. Definition of Force • Definition: Any push or pull that makes an object start moving , stop moving ,speed up, slow down , or change direction • My experiment: In my experiment I kicked a ball across the floor.

  3. Force • The Force applied in my experiment occurred whenI kicked the ball across the ground.

  4. Definition of Friction • Definition: A force between surfaces that slows objects down or stops them from moving.

  5. Friction • An example of friction in my experiment was when the ball rolled across the carpet. This slowed it down.

  6. Definition of Inertia • Definition: The tendency of an object to remain in the motion to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

  7. Inertia • The Inertia applied in my experiment because I used my foot to kick the ball.
