Force

Forces are measured in units called Newtons (N).

Use the spring scale to find out what a force of 1 Newton feels like.

Force

Forces have a magnitude (how strong)and a direction so we can represent forces with vectors (arrows).

Force

A force diagram shows all the forces acting on an object.

We represent the object itself as a dot.

Force

Balanced forces cancel each other out. The sum of the forces, or NET force is zero. Unbalanced forces don't cancel out. The net force is something other than zero.

Force Diagrams

Put a piece of paper between you and your partner.

Conduct an arm wrestle.

Draw a force diagram showing the forces acting on the paper.
