Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Forces in Action Worksheet (teacher made) - Twinkl
I need to identify the forces shown in the diagrams on this worksheet. Let me analyze each scenario:

Left side - First diagram (ball with arrows):
- There's a ball with an upward arrow and a downward arrow
- The upward arrow represents the force pushing/lifting the ball up
- The downward arrow represents gravity pulling the ball down
- These are likely Applied Force (upward) and Gravity/Weight (downward)

Left side - Second diagram (hand holding/pushing ball):
- A hand is shown with a ball
- Upward arrow from the hand
- Downward arrow on the ball
- This shows Applied Force (from hand, upward) and Gravity/Weight (downward)

Right side - Top left diagram (person jumping/diving):
- Shows a person in mid-air
- Arrow pointing up and arrow pointing down
- When someone jumps or is in the air:
- Upward arrow could represent the initial Applied Force that launched them
- Downward arrow is Gravity pulling them down

Right side - Top right diagram (hand throwing ball):
- Hand throwing a ball upward
- Upward arrow: Applied Force (throwing force)
- Downward arrow: Gravity/Weight

Bottom diagrams:
These ask students to draw their own examples.

Let me provide the standard force names for these scenarios:

For all the diagrams showing objects being pushed/thrown upward with gravity acting downward:
- Upward force: Applied Force (or Thrust, or Push)
- Downward force: Gravity (or Weight)

Final Answer:
The forces in the boxes should be labeled as:

1. First box (top left):
- Up arrow: Applied Force
- Down arrow: Gravity

2. Second box (top right):
- Up arrow: Applied Force
- Down arrow: Gravity

3. Third box (bottom left - diver/jumper):
- Up arrow: Applied Force (or Initial Force)
- Down arrow: Gravity

4. Fourth box (bottom right - throwing ball):
- Up arrow: Applied Force
- Down arrow: Gravity
