Force and Pressure-what i learnt
by MOK PECK YIM .
1. New node
2. A force involves a push and pull.
3. Force can change the direction, the shape and the speed of an object
4. F=ma
5. Without frictional force, we would not be able to hold anything without it slipping.
6. Forces
7. Too much friction may cause machines to work unneccessarily
8. Without gravitational force, everything would be floating around
9. To reduce friction, we can use lubricants.
10. Frictional force
11. Gravitational force
12. Gravitational force causes things to fall
13. Magnetic Force
14. Used in refrigerators, dumpsters and telephones
15. Pressure
16. Amount of force applied per unit area
17. Depends on force and area
18. Reducing area can increase pressure eg: using sharp knives to cut apples
19. Increasing area can reduce pressure eg: camels have large feet so they do not sink into the ground
20. New node
21. Pressure= Force/ Area
