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
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of types of force worksheet.
