Forces and Pressure
by A MENUGA .
1. the formula for calculating pressure is Pressure = Force/Area
2. To increase the pressure, you need to increase the force and decrease the area
3. To lower the pressure, you need to decrease the force and increase the area
4. Pressure is the amount of force exerted per unit area
5. Magnetic force is the force exerted by a magnet on another magnet or another magnetic material
6. Fictional force occurs when two moving surfaces are in contact
7. A spring balance or a compression balance can be used to measure force and it is measured in Newtons(N).
8. A force can cause a moving object to stop or a stationary object to start moving
9. A force is a push or a pull
10. Gravitational force is a force that pulls objects to the centre of the Earth
