    Physics Moment of a force: Moment of a force = force x perpendicular distance of the line if action if the force from fulcrum Law of moments: When a body is in equilibrium the sum of the clockwise moments about any point equals the sum of the anticlockwise moments about the same point. Centre of mass: Centre of mass is the point where whole mass of the body assumes to be concentrated. II. If the vertical line through the centre of mass is outside the base it will be a topples but if it’s passed

    This year in science‚ we were paired up in groups to build a car powered only by a rubber band. There was a lot of physics and thought put behind the planning of our car. The rubber band moved the car by storing up elastic potential energy which then turned into kinetic energy when released. Newton’s Laws of Motion also come in handy when thinking about how to keep the car moving. “An object in motion stays in motion.” There was also a lot of thought put into the wheels. We had to be aware of the

    1.1 GRAVITY AND GRAVITATIONAL FIELDS 1.1.1 Define weight as the force on an object due to a gravitational field. Weight is the force experienced by an object due to the presence of a gravitational field. This force is directly related to the strength of the gravitational field acting on an object and the mass of that object. m = mass‚ g = acceleration due to gravity m = mass‚ g = acceleration due to gravity Fg = mg Fg = mg 1.1.2 Explain that a change in gravitational
