Force Introduction - Student Presentation 

Force is a central concept in physics. By analysing the forces on an object, its resulting motion can be determined. But what exactly is a force? The word force is used in everyday language in a variety of contexts, only some of which reflect the scientific definition of force. In this video, people at Victoria Park in Sydney are interviewed on their ideas of force and the forces that act on them.

This shot of an actual golf ball hitting a heavy steel plate at 150 mph was taken at 40,000 frames per second at the USGA Research and Test Center in Far Hills, NJ.

Theoretical physics is very complicated, and there is still a lot we don't know about how the universe works. Trace and Julian are here to discuss the four fundamental forces of physics, and why we're still unsure about a lot of things.

The Four Fundamental Forces Of Physics Explained

What forces (i.e. pushes or pulls) are acting on you right now? Most people can identify the gravitational force down, but there must be something else otherwise you would accelerate down towards the center of the Earth. The other main force on you is called the normal force. It is a force perpendicular to the surface that supports you, like the ground or the seat of your chair. You compress this surface and it acts like a spring, pushing you up.
