Forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance
Elaborations
-
exploring how non-contact forces are similar to contact forces in terms of objects pushing and pulling another object
-
investigating the effect of forces on the behaviour of an object through different actions, for example, throwing, dropping, bouncing and rolling
-
comparing and contrasting the effect of friction on different surfaces, for example, the abrasion of tyres and shoes on a range of surfaces
-
exploring the forces of attraction and repulsion between magnets
