#P4.1.1

recall and apply Newton’s third law

#P4.1.2

recall examples of ways in which objects interact: by gravity, electrostatics, magnetism and by contact (including normal contact force and friction)

#P4.1.3

describe how examples of gravitational, electrostatic, magnetic and contact forces involve interactions between pairs of objects which produce a force on each object

#P4.1.4

represent interaction forces as vectors

#P4.1.5

define weight

#P4.1.6

describe how weight is measured

#P4.1.7

recall and apply the relationship between the weight of an object, its mass and the gravitational field strength:

weight (N) = mass (kg) × gravitational field strength (N/kg)
