About Cambridge IGCSE Physics Forces

This sub-topic covers forces.

What you need to know

  • Effects Changes in shape, speed and direction.
  • Springs Load-extension graphs and the limit of proportionality.
  • Moments Moment = force x perpendicular distance; centre of gravity and stability.

Common mistakes in Forces

  • Using total length instead of extension.
  • Forgetting circular motion needs a force.
