Isaac Newton explained how forces work. His name is remembered as the unit of
force.
What does a force do?
• Gives energy to an object
• Can set an object in motion, make it stop, or change its motion
• A Newton-meter measures forces.• Use the equipment to find the connection.
Weight and massForces are measured in Newtons

What does this
column tell you
about the connection
?
Be careful of any zero error
– meter does not read zero with
no force.
What would a graph of mass vs weight look like?
“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
Newton’s Third Law
Or – Why would I get wet if I tried this?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
The gases being expelledis the action. The rocket propelling forward is the reaction.
What have I learnt?
• The force on a ladder resting against a wall is …………….. and …………………to the force of the wall on the ladder
• A book is at rest on a table. The force of the book on the table …………..
The force of the table on the book is ……………….

upwards
Use these words; Downwards equal opposite upwards
All
Know that whenever 2 objects push or pull on each other they exert equal and opposite forces on each other
