1.14 - understand that force is a vector quantity

Force has magnitude.
→ It is measured in Newtons.
Force acts in a direction.

Example: 5N thrust is the amount of force acting forwards.

1.15 - calculate the resultant forces that act along a line

Image
If there is an unbalanced force, the object will accelerate in the direction of the larger force. → This is the resultant force . To calculate it : 1. Look at which side has the larger force. 2. Subtract them. → The arrow should be pointing towards the larger side. 3. The result is the resultant force.      5N ←◼️ → 10N 10 - 5 = 5N Hence, the object will move forward and the resultant force is 5N.
