Physics

Forces

A non-contact force is a force that acts without contact, like gravity and magnetism.

A contact force is a force that requires contact to occur. Types of contact force are frictional force and applied force.

A force is measured by a newtonmeter, and the unit of a force is: N

Density

What is density?

It is figured out my dividing the mass by the volume. D= mass over volume

Speed

To work out the speed of something, you must divide the distance it covers by the time it takes to cover that distance. That is how you figure out the speed. V=speed over time

Density is the mass of 1cm3 of stuff.

The density of pure water is 1.0g/cm3

Anything with a larger density of 1.0g/cm3 will sink.

Variables

3 Effects a force can have on something:

Changing somethings direction

Making something accelerate

Changing somethings shape

The control variable is the thing you keep the same

The dependent variable is the thing you measure

The independent variable is the thing you change
