Les forces sont des poussées et des tractions qui régissent tout dans l'univers. Ils peuvent faire bouger, accélérer, ralentir, changer de direction ou même changer la forme des choses. Les activités suivantes aideront les élèves à saisir la force et le mouvement afin qu'ils puissent mieux comprendre le monde qui les entoure.

Force Diagram
The Soyuz orbital module is in orbit. Even though it's speed may be constant it's velocity is changing as it changing direction. Forces are unbalanced. The only force acting on the module is its weight.

Drag
The Soyuz orbital module is in orbit. Even though it's speed may be constant it's velocity is changing as it changing direction. Forces are unbalanced. The only force acting on the module is its weight.
Weight
The capsule is decelerating so the forces aren't balanced. The drag from the parachute must be larger than the weight of the parachute and the capsule.
Weight
The forces are balanced, as the capsule is not moving. The reaction force acting on the capsule from the ground is equal and opposite to the weight of the capsule.
