Forces in Action

Forces in Action
Gravity
2
Gravity gives objects weight.
Weight is a force.
The force by which objects are pulled towards
each other.
3
Use the force metres to work out the weight of
the objects.
Dont forget this force is measuredin Newtons
Can you now work out the weighteach object would
have on the moon?

They all change shape because of the forces
acting on them.
But the objects are resisting the change and want
to return to their original shape.
OPPOSING FORCESare at work within the objects

Q If I increase the force on an elestic band by
equal amounts, for example 1N, 2N, 3N.., what
will I observe??
Prediction
How can I find out?
How will the change in length be measured?
How can I record my results?
How can I make the experiment safe
