Explaining motion
What are forces? - OCR 21st Century
Forces arise from the interactions of two objects. They can be divided into two categories: contact forces and non-contact forces.
How can we describe motion? - OCR 21st Century
The movement of objects can be described using motion graphs and numerical values. These are both used to help in the design of faster and more efficient vehicles.
What is the connection between forces and motion? - OCR 21st Century
Unbalanced forces on an object will change its motion. Ideas about force and momentum can be used to explain road safety measures.
How can we describe motion in terms of energy transfers?
Energy stored in a moving object is called kinetic energy. As an object is raised above ground its gravitational potential energy increases. When a force moves an object work is done.
