You learn how forces cause motion or change shape, and how energy is transferred in simple situations. This matters because it helps you solve questions on movement, work and stored energy in everyday physics.
You should already be able to multiply simple numbers and understand distance, movement and basic measurement units. It also helps if you know the idea of a push or pull.
One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.
The SI unit of force is the:
Working: Force is measured in newtons (N).
This topic normally comes in SHS 1 to SHS 3 Physics or Integrated Science when learners study mechanics and energy. It supports WASSCE revision by strengthening simple calculations and key definitions on forces, work and stored energy.
Curriculum notes are a general guide to where this work normally sits. Always check the syllabus your school or examination body is currently using.
