Question

Which of the following statements about forces helps you understand at least some of your own real-life experiences? For each statement that you think is useful, give an example of an experience that it helps you understand, and explain how so. If there are any statements that you think are not useful – or even counterproductive – identify which ones and explain why you do not think it is useful.

a. A force is used up.

b. One object has more force than another object.

c. A force is transferred from one object to another object.

Explanation / Answer

Useful force: c. A force is transferred from one object to another object.

Example: Pulley system, for example while drawing water from a well over a pulley. The force of the bucket is transferred through the pulley to the rope. So, rather than pulling upwards, we can pull downwards, which is more convenient.
