Kete High Impact

Kete High Impact

Force: 
A force is the Strength/ power/ energy caused by physical action or movements.
We can see this when you shoot a basketball. The force from throwing it pushes it, flying it away from me that makes actions, movements. 

Friction: 
Friction is the force construct by two objects/ surface rub against each other. Friction can also make things/ object stop and also can make an object slow. 
We can see this when we push something/box on the table. The force from pushing it makes a friction which the object and the table rub against each other, which will make the object slow down.

Push:
Push is the force that makes an object/person move away from oneself. Its also the force that moves forward. Its the opposite of pull.
We can see this when we push a door. The force from pushing it makes the door move forward or making it move from oneself.

Pull:
Pull is the force that makes an object/person move towards from oneself. Its also the movement that causes someone/something towards you. Its the opposite of push.
We can see this when pull a door. The force from pulling it makes it move towards oneself.

Gravity:
Gravity is the force that makes a body/physical body towards the centre of the earth or fall/pushes towards the centre of the earth.
We can see this when the an apple falls of a tree. It falls down towards the centre of the earth.

Air Resistance:
 Air resistance is the frictional force air apply against a moving object. When an object moves, air resistance slows it down. Every time the objects motion goes faster, the greater the air resistance exerted against it.
We can see this when a person goes Parachuting. The force of the air makes the parachute slow as it goes through the air going down.

Potential Energy: 
Potential Energy is the force that depends on the position, for it to move. Potential Energy is the stored energy of position possessed by an object. 
A stretched bow with an arrow is an example of potential energy. You can find potential energy when there is possessed energy stored in the position. The more the bow is stretched the more potential energy in it.

Kinetic Energy:
Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion - the action of moving. When the object has motion - horizontal or Vertical, this will have Kinetic Energy. There are also different kinds of forms of kinetic energy.
The airplane can be an example of the kinetic energy. An airplane has the kinetic energy in it because it has the energy of motion and it has the action of moving. The faster the airplane goes the more kinetic energy in it. 

Balanced Force: 
Balanced forces are two forces acting in a opposite direction (on a object) in an equal size. There is always a balanced force in an object when the object stay still, continues moving to move at the same speed, or in the same direction. Its the opposite of Unbalanced forces.
The seesaw we did in science shows balanced force. It is balanced because of the weight and its position. 

Unbalanced Force: 
Unbalanced Forces are forces that can make an not move and can make an object move faster because its not balanced. Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces. Its the opposite of Balanced forces.
The seesaw we did in science also shows unbalanced force. It shows unbalanced force because the weight and the position is not the same. 

Accelerate: 
Accelerate is the force that begin to move quickly/ faster. It can increases the rate, amount and extent. 
When a car goes faster, the force accelerate acts on it. Its because it increases the amount of speed.

Motion: 
Motion is the force of action that is being moved or a movement that is moving. 
When a dice is moved, it will have the movement of moving called motion.

  1. Well done Deianira, you have clearly explained all of these terms really well. I liked your pictures as well. Good job!
