Forces as Vector Quantities
Scalar and Vector Quantities
We look at what a physical quantity is today and how we can represent different types: Scalars and Vectors. This is a really impornat little lesson for all of the forces and motion topics. Download the flashcard template and answer the questions and then use them for retrieval quizzes.
Resolving Parallel Forces
How can we add forces together? We start looking at this in today's lesson. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Drawing Forces
You can add paralle forces, but how do you add forces at an angle to each other you ask? That's what today's lesson is all about. What a coincidence. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Components of a Force
You've seen how to draw forces. You've seen how to add forces to make a resultant force. Today we take a force and split it up into its bits, it's components. Your life will possibly never be the same. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Hooke's Law and Elastic Potential Energy
Want to be able to work out how much energy is in a stretched elastic band. No. Oh, well. er.. What about How much something extends when you put a force on it. Yes Please. phew. This is the lesson for you! Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Congratulations! You've made it to the end of your first forces topic. Forces as Vector Quantities all done. Try the End of Topic Quiz before you move on to the Pressure in Fluids Topic.
