Year 7 Physics Review
Use the situations and data on this sheet to review forces, motion, friction and simple machines. Show working for calculations and include units.
Forces in action
A force is a push, pull or twist. Forces can change an object's motion or shape.
1.A magnet attracts a steel paper clip without touching it. Which kind of force is mainly responsible?
- Friction
- Magnetic force
- Air resistance
- Support force
2.A spring scale measures a pulling force of 12 N to the right and another force of 5 N to the left on a trolley. Calculate the net force and state its direction.
3.True or false? If the net force on a moving bicycle is zero, the bicycle must immediately stop.
TrueFalse
4.The trolley rolls down a ramp and slows on a rough mat. Name the force that opposes its motion on the mat, and explain how that force acts.
Simple machines solve problems
Simple machines can change the size or direction of a force, or make a task more convenient.
5.In a wheelbarrow, the wheel is the fulcrum, the load sits in the tray, and the person lifts at the handles. Which lever class is this?
- Class 1
- Class 2
- Class 3
- It is not a lever
6.Match each simple machine to its usual job: an inclined plane, a wedge and a pulley.
- Inclined plane
- Wedge
- Pulley
- Splits or cuts material
- Raises a load over a longer, sloping path
- Changes the direction of a pulling force
7.A pulley system lifts a 240 N load using an effort force of 80 N. Calculate its mechanical advantage using load force ÷ effort force.
8.A student pushes a heavy crate, but it does not move. Explain how the forces can be balanced even though the student is pushing.
9.A cyclist travels along a flat path. Identify one force that helps the bicycle move forward and one force that resists its motion. Briefly describe each force.
10.Design a Class 1 lever for lifting a small rock. Draw and label the fulcrum, load and effort, and use arrows to show the directions of the load and effort forces.
