In this title, you will learn about the effects of force in different situations. A force is needed to make something happen, like speeding up a moving object. We will discuss weight, a force that always acts downwards and from an object's centre of gravity. We will study circular motion and show that centripetal force is needed to make something move in a circle. Mass is a quantity known as a scalar, and force is a vector. We will discuss what these mean and the difference between the two. All moving objects have momentum, and this title examines how it is conserved in collisions and explosions. We will also consider Newton's second law of motion, and how pressure can be used to convert a small force into a larger one. Moments of force and their application will finally be discussed.
