    Literacy: Thrust Lift Air Resistance Friction Gravity Upthrust Weight

    Uploaded by

    Jonathan Wilmshurst
    This document provides information about forces and force diagrams. It includes examples of different types of forces such as gravity, friction, thrust, and lift. It explains how force diagrams represent the size, direction, and balance of forces acting on an object using labeled arrows. Students are asked to identify forces, draw force diagrams, and apply their understanding to examples involving quicksand and a superhero. The document tests comprehension of key force concepts.

    Some key takeaways from the passage are that forces can make objects start or stop moving and change direction or shape, examples of different types of forces like thrust and lift are described, and force diagrams can be used to represent the forces acting on an object.

    When Bear Grylls is stuck in quicksand, the forces acting on him would include downward force from his body weight and upward force from the quicksand.

    The example diagram of a superhero shows forces of gravity pulling downward and air resistance pushing against the superhero's downward motion.

    LITERACY
    Read the text below. Underline each of the spelling / punctuation / grammar mistakes and
    correct them in the space. There are eight to find.

    A force is a push or pul in a particular direction. it can also be a twist. Forces affect how
    objects move, for example they can make objects start moving, stop moving, move faster,
    move slower change direction or change shape. Forces cannot be seen but we can see there
    effects. An example of a force you have already studied is magnetism We cannot see
    magnetic fields, but if we put a compas or iron filings close to it, they show us the possition of

    NAME:
    the fields. Force is measured in Newtons, wich we write as N.

    2. TYPES OF FORCE

    3. FORCE DIAGRAMS

    Draw lines to join the type of force on the left to the definition on the right.

    We can show the forces acting on an object using a force diagram. In a force diagram, each
    force is shown as a force arrow. An arrow shows:
    the size of the force (the longer the arrow, the bigger the force)
    the direction in which the force acts.
    The arrow is usually labelled with the name of the force and its size in Newtons.

    THRUST

    This is a force caused by gravity. It is the gravitational force


    between an object and the Earth. It is not the same as mass and
    varies depending on where you are in the Universe.

    LIFT

    This is a force which acts in the air. It can slow objects down when
    they are moving against it, or can be harnessed and used to move
    an object along, for example in windsurfing.

    AIR RESISTANCE

    This is the force required to raise an object through a fluid.

    FRICTION

    This is an attractive force that pulls objects towards each other.


    The size of this force varies depending where you are in the
    Universe.

    GRAVITY

    This is an upward force that acts in water. It acts against gravity


    and is why certain objects float.

    UPTHRUST

    This force acts on objects when they are in contact with a


    substance, such as the ground. The smoother the two surfaces are,
    the less friction there will be.

    WEIGHT

    This can be any driving force. It can be a push or a pull or even an


    engine that forces an object FORWARDS.

    Textbooks often show a force with a thick coloured arrow, but you should use a pencil and ruler
    to draw an arrow with a single line.
    Can you copy the diagram below but draw the arrows as a single line with a pencil and ruler?
    Draw your diagram here

    This can be any driving force. It can be a push or a pull or even an engine that forces an object FORWARDS.

    4. WHAT FORCES ARE ACTING?

    5. FORCE DIAGRAMS

    Use your answers to Boxes 2 and 3 to add arrows and labels to show what forces are acting on
    Bear Grylls when he is stuck in quicksand.

    Circle the best answer:


    1) The forces shown above are PUSHING / PULLING forces.
    2) The forces shown above are WORKING TOGETHER / OPPOSITE forces.
    3) The forces shown above are EQUAL / NOT EQUAL.
    4) The forces DO / DO NOT balance each other.
    5) The net (total) force is 1000 N TO THE RIGHT / 1000 N to the left / ZERO.
    6) There IS / IS NO motion.

    7. SUPERHERO FORCES
    Use a blank sheet of A4 to draw your favourite superhero. Add arrows to show the forces
    acting on the superhero, and labels to say what they are (see Box 2 if you need hints about the
    types of force). There is an example below.
    Gravity

    Circle the best answer:

    Air resistance

    Air resistance

    1) The forces shown above are PUSHING / PULLING forces.


    2) The forces shown above are WORKING TOGETHER / OPPOSITE forces.
    3) The forces shown above are EQUAL / NOT EQUAL.

    Upthrust

    4) The forces DO / DO NOT balance each other.


    5) The stronger force is pulling RIGHT / LEFT.
    6) Motion is to the RIGHT / LEFT.

    Remember: Your superhero can be from a comic or film or your own imagination. He or she
    could be in the air, the water or on land.
