🧲 Interaction of Forces
Primary 6 · P6🧲 Interactions
A force is a push or a pull. See how friction, gravity, magnets and springs start, stop, speed up and reshape the things around you.
What you'll learn
- A force is a push or a pull
- Forces can start or stop motion, speed things up, slow them down, change direction or change shape
- Types of forces: magnetic force, gravitational force (gravity), elastic spring force and frictional force
- Things have weight because gravity pulls on them
- Friction slows moving objects — sometimes useful, sometimes a nuisance
