Search for Grade 7 Science Textbook PDF Covering Key Physics Topics
The Scribd page didn't give much content due to paywall. The StuDocu link failed. Let me try to search for more accessible content or use the general middle school science content I already have from the DepEd module (Philippines) and other sources to construct the chapter explanation. The Myanmar curriculum likely follows similar topics to other international grade 7 science curricula.
From the search results, I can see the chapter covers:
- Balanced and unbalanced forces
- Speed calculations
- Describing movement with graphs
- Turning forces (moments/levers)
- Pressure
- Newton's laws
- Work, energy, power
- Types of energy (kinetic, potential)
Let me search for one more accessible source - maybe a PDF of a Grade 7 science textbook or open educational resource.

Here is the complete educational package for Myanmar Diplomatic School, Standard 07, Science, Chapter 03: Forces and Energy (English Medium).
1. Chapter Explanation in Detail
1.1 What is Force?
A force is a push or a pull acting on an object. Forces can make stationary objects move, make moving objects stop, speed them up, slow them down, or change their direction. Forces can also change the shape of an object. Force is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (size) and direction. The SI unit of force is the Newton (N).
Forces are classified into two main categories:
- Contact forces: Require physical contact between objects. Examples include friction, normal force, tension, and applied force.
- Non-contact forces: Act at a distance without physical contact. Examples include gravitational force, magnetic force, and electrostatic force.
1.2 Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
When two or more forces act on an object:
- Balanced forces: Equal forces acting in opposite directions. The net force is zero, so the object remains at rest or moves at constant velocity (no acceleration).
- Unbalanced forces: Unequal forces where one is stronger than the other. The net force (resultant force) is not zero, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the larger force.
Example: In a tug-of-war, if both teams pull with equal force, the rope does not move (balanced). If one team pulls harder, the rope moves toward that team (unbalanced).
1.3 Measuring Force
Force is measured using a spring balance or newton meter. The instrument works on the principle that the extension of a spring is proportional to the force applied to it.
1.4 Motion, Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration
- Speed: The rate of change of distance. Formula: Speed = Distance ÷ Time (units: m/s or km/h).
- Velocity: Speed in a given direction (also includes direction).
- Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity. It occurs when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction. Formula: Acceleration = Change in velocity ÷ Time taken (units: m/s²).
Distance-time graphs are used to describe motion. A straight line indicates constant speed; a curved line indicates acceleration; a horizontal line means the object is at rest.
1.5 Newton's Laws of Motion
- First Law (Law of Inertia): An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. More mass = more inertia.
- Second Law (Law of Acceleration): The acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the net force acting on it. Formula: F = m × a (Force = mass × acceleration). A larger force produces greater acceleration; a larger mass requires more force for the same acceleration.
- Third Law (Law of Interaction): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If object A exerts a force on object B, object B simultaneously exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.
1.6 Work
In science, work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force. Formula: Work = Force × Distance (W = F × d). The SI unit of work is the Joule (J). One joule is the work done when a force of one newton moves an object through a distance of one meter. No work is done if the object does not move or if the force and motion are perpendicular.
1.7 Energy
Energy is the capacity or ability to do work. It is measured in Joules (J). The two main forms of mechanical energy are:
- Kinetic Energy (KE): The energy possessed by a moving object. Formula: KE = ½ m v² (depends on mass and speed).
- Potential Energy (PE): Stored energy due to position or condition.
- Gravitational Potential Energy: Energy due to height above the ground. Formula: PE = m × g × h (mass × gravity × height).
- Elastic Potential Energy: Energy stored in stretched or compressed objects like springs.
1.8 Power
Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. Formula: Power = Work ÷ Time (P = W/t). The SI unit is the Watt (W). One watt equals one joule per second. A more powerful machine can do the same work in less time.
1.9 Pressure
Pressure is the force acting per unit area. Formula: Pressure = Force ÷ Area (P = F/A). The SI unit is the Pascal (Pa). A smaller area produces higher pressure for the same force. This explains why sharp knives cut better (small area) and why camels have wide feet (low pressure on sand).
1.10 Turning Forces (Moments) and Levers
A turning force or moment (torque) is the turning effect of a force. Formula: Moment = Force × Perpendicular distance from pivot (M = F × d). The pivot point is called the fulcrum. Levers are simple machines that use moments to multiply force. There are three classes of levers based on the relative positions of the effort, load, and fulcrum.
1.11 Energy Transfer and Conservation
Energy can be transferred from one object to another (by doing work) or transformed from one form to another (e.g., chemical energy to kinetic energy when running). The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. The total energy in a closed system remains constant.

4. Word Question Answers
A1. A force is a push or pull acting on an object. Its SI unit is the Newton (N).
A2. Contact forces: friction, normal force, tension, applied force. Non-contact forces: gravitational force, magnetic force, electrostatic force.
A3. The box will not move (remain at rest). These are balanced forces because the net force is zero (50 N – 50 N = 0 N).
A4. Acceleration = (Final velocity – Initial velocity) ÷ Time = (20 – 0) ÷ 4 = 5 m/s².
A5. Newton's First Law states that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion continues moving at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force. Example: Passengers in a moving bus lurch forward when the bus suddenly stops (inertia).
A6. No work is done because there is no displacement. Work requires both force and movement in the direction of the force (W = F × d; if d = 0, W = 0).
A7. KE = ½ m v² = ½ × 2 kg × (5 m/s)² = ½ × 2 × 25 = 25 J.
A8. PE = m × g × h = 0.5 kg × 10 N/kg × 2 m = 10 J.
A9. Power = Work ÷ Time = 500 J ÷ 10 s = 50 W.
A10. A sharp knife has a smaller contact area than a blunt knife. Since Pressure = Force ÷ Area, a smaller area produces greater pressure for the same applied force, making cutting easier.
A11. Using the principle of moments: Load₁ × Distance₁ = Load₂ × Distance₂.
40 kg × 2 m = 20 kg × Distance₂ → Distance₂ = 80 ÷ 20 = 4 m from the pivot.
40 kg × 2 m = 20 kg × Distance₂ → Distance₂ = 80 ÷ 20 = 4 m from the pivot.
A12. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another. The total energy in a closed system remains constant.
A13. As the stone leaves the hand, it has maximum kinetic energy and minimum potential energy. As it rises, its speed decreases, so kinetic energy decreases while gravitational potential energy increases. At the highest point, kinetic energy is zero (momentarily) and potential energy is maximum.
A14. Speed is the rate of covering distance (scalar quantity, no direction). Velocity is speed in a given direction (vector quantity).
A15. Newton's Third Law states: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you hit the table, your hand exerts a force on the table (action), and the table exerts an equal and opposite force back on your hand (reaction), which causes the pain.
