Forces - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Simple explanation: the magnetic force between two magnetic objects
      - Fun fact: Not all objects are magnetic only some metals including: steel, iron, nikel and more...
      - Example: The earth's magnetic field
      - Observation: two magnets are one of the strongest forms of magnetic force
    - - Simple explanation: The build-up of a static electric force/charge on an object/ material due to contact with other surfaces.
      - Example: When you rub a balloon over hair
      - Fact: Electrostatic forces don't move like some other electric forces
      - Observation: This is a non-contact force, as the force does not require another object to be touching it for it to have an electrostatic force.
  - - - Example: When you play tug of war
      - Fact: It's generally easier to pull an object then push.
      - Simple explanation:To apply force to an object, which then causes movement/motion towards the source, of the force.
      - Observation: Even though pull is a contact force, gravity and magnetism use a pulling forces.
    - - Simple Explanation: One force or object moves another object with pressure and contact.
      - Fact:
        If you push against a spring they will resist, and then they spring back with exactly the same force that you applied.
      - Example: When you push a trolley
      - Observation: The more power someone produces when hitting the ball, the father it will go.
    - - Example: Twisting a jar lid off
      - Fact : Torsion/twisting force is commonly measured in foot-pounds or Newton- meters.
      - Simple Explanation:
        Torsion is the force that is a applied to something through torque. Torque creates shear stress, and if that is big enough it can make the object twist.
      - Observation: You can use twisting as a major machnical advantage
    - - Example: When you ride your bike over sand or grass
      - Fact: Without friction Wheels couldn't work, and it would be really hard to stand up.
      - Simple Explanation: The resistance /force When one surface or object, either rub's or moves over another.
      - Observation: When we folded the pages of a book together, it was harder to pull apart, due to the molecules interacting more, resulting in more friction between them.
    - - Fact: Normal forces don't and can't exist unless objects are in contact, and are always perpendicular to the surface.
      - Example: Laptop/computer on a table/bench
      - Simple Explanation: The force that supports the weight and other forces of an object, on a surface.
      - Observation: Anything and everything uses some sort of normal force.
