________ – pulls things downwards
___ ________ (drag) – acts against anything moving through air
______ – keeps things afloat_____ – acts against anything moving
Words – upthrust, air resistance, friction, weight

Consider a camel standing on a road. What forces are acting on it?
Weight
Reaction
These two forces would be equal – we say that they are BALANCED. The camel doesn’t move anywhere.

01/05/23Weight and MassWeight and MassThe MASS of an object is a measure of how much “stuff” it contains”.The WEIGHT of an object is the amount of force that pulls it downwards due to gravity.
1 Kg
This object has a MASS of 1Kg…
…and a WEIGHT of 10N
01/05/23FloatingFloatingWhether or not an object will float depends on its DENSITY. For example:
The metal block will ____ because it is ______ dense than water
The wooden block will ____ because it is ______
dense than water
