Lesson 1-Different Types of Forces
Unit IV:
Motion in One Dimension
How
FORCEdoes
is force
the influence
cause of motion
Why do
Observe objects
the move?
pictures…
movement?
and changes in motion.
-Push or Pull
-Makes things in
motion or stops it
When we say
things in MOTION,
they are moving from
one point to another
point with respect to its
Reference Point.
With the simple definition of force, we can say
that everything that we do, we apply force.
WHAT FORCES
CAN DO?
Effects of Forces on Objects
Motion
-change in position or movement of
an object with respect to its reference
point
• The UNIT of FORCE
is Newton (N) named
in honor of Sir Isaac
Newton
–Can be measured using a
spring scale, commonly
known as Spring Balance
which was invented by
Robert Hooke
Lesson 1:
Different Types
of Forces
1. Contact Force
–Result from direct contact
between 2 objects
2. Non-contact Force
–Forces acting on a distance
• FRICTION FORCE
–Opposes motion
–Movement will not be possible
2 Stationary surfaces
that resist motion
Resistance of
objects in motion through sliding
Resistance to
motion from rollers
To reduce Friction:
• Using lubricants, grease or oil
• Using wheels or rollers, balls
and bearings
• Streamlining by filling,
sandpapering, or scrubbing
•APPLIED FORCE
–Force which is applied to an object by
another object.
–A person pushing a cabinet is an
example of applied force. When the
person pushes the cabinet then there is
an applied force acting upon the cabinet.
The applied force is the force exerted on
the cabinet by the person and it
responsible for the motion of the
cabinet.
• NORMAL FORCE
– The normal force is also called Support
force. The normal force is the support force
exerted upon an object that is in contact
with another fixed or stable object.
– For example, if a book is resting upon a
surface, then the surface is exerting an
upward force upon the book in order to
support the weight of the book. The solid
ground provides the normal force for all of
us.
• TENSION FORCE
–An object that is being stretched
experiences a tension force. For
example, a cable holding a ceiling
lamp.
•GRAVITATIONAL FORCE
–Force of Gravity
–Force of attraction between two
objects
–Causes all objects thrown upward to
always fall and move toward the
center of the Earth
Gravitational Force
• Force with which objects pull one
another
• Force that keeps us bound to the
Earth
• Force that makes the Earth and other
planets revolve around the sun
Law of Universal Gravitation
• every particle attracts every other
particle in the universe with
a force which is directly
proportional to the product of their
masses and inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between
their centers.
Universal Gravitation
• Newton realized that gravity acts
everywhere in the universe, not just on
Earth.
• It is the force that makes an apple fall to
the ground.
• It is the force that keeps the moon
orbiting around Earth.
• It is the force that keeps all the planets in
our solar system orbiting around the sun.
• What Newton realized is now called the
law of universal gravitation.
• The law of universal gravitation states
that the force of gravity acts between all
objects in the universe.
• This means that any two objects in the
universe, without exception, attract each
other.
• You are attracted not only to Earth but
also to all the other objects around you.
• Earth and the objects around you are
attracted to you as well.
• However, you do not notice the
attraction among objects because
these forces are small compared to
the force of Earth’s attraction.
• The measure of the pull of gravity
• Weight is a force, unit is Newton (N)
• Weight of objects depend on 2 things
W=mg
W=Weight
m=Mass
g=Acceleration due to gravity
Acceleration Due to Gravity
Acceleration Due to Gravity Comparison
Body Acceleration Due to Gravity, "g" [m/s²]
Sun 274.13
Mercury 3.59
Venus 8.87
Earth 9.81
Moon 1.62
Mars 3.77
Jupiter 25.95
Saturn 11.08
Uranus 10.67
Neptune 14.07
Pluto 0.42
Example:
Find the weight of a student on Earth
whose mass is equal to 60Kg.
m=60Kg ; g=9.8m/s² ; W=?
W=mg
W=(60Kg)*(9.8m/s²)
W=588 Kg*m/s² or 588N
W=588N
Example:
Find the weight of a student on Earth
whose mass is equal to 50Kg.
m=50Kg ; g=9.8m/s² ; W=?
W=mg
W=(50Kg)*(9.8m/s²)
W=490 Kg*m/s² or 490N
W=490N
Example:
Neil A. Lien is planning for a space
exploration going to the moon. If he is
90Kg heavy on Earth, how much would
he weigh when he reaches the moon?
m=90Kg ; g=1.62m/s² ; W=?
W=mg
W=(90Kg)*(1.62m/s²)
W=145.8 Kg*m/s² or 145.8N
W=145.8N
•MAGNETIC FORCE
–The attraction or repulsion that arises
between magnetic substances
–Invisible force in the Magnetic Field
around the magnet
–whatever the size and shape, it has
two poles: The North & South Poles
Magnetic Force
• Force exerted by magnets on each
other and other metallic substances
• Causes objects to attract or repel
from each other
• Also a force that occurs between
electrically charged particles causing
them to attract or repel
N S N S S N N S
•ELECTRICAL FORCES
– Forces exist between electrically
charged bodies
–Like MF, can either attract or repel.
• Like charges repel; Unlike charges
attract
Electric Force
• The attractive or repulsive
interaction between any two charged
objects
+ - + -
+ - - +
- + + -
• STRONG & WEAK FORCES
–Act inside the nucleus of an atom
–Acts between all of the particles in the
nucleus, i.e., between two neutrons,
between two protons, and between a
neutron and a proton.
Nuclear Force
• Force that holds the
particles in the nucleus
together.
• Force used in machines
which require
tremendous power to
work like submarines
and atom bombs
• The Strong Nuclear Force is an
attractive force between protons and
neutrons that keep the nucleus together
and the Weak Nuclear Force is
responsible for the radioactive decay of
certain nuclei. It was realized that the
strength of the two forces differed a lot.
• STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE
–about 100 times stronger than
electromagnetism. This force is also
known as strong interactions.
• Strong nuclear force leads to release of energy
when heat is generated in Nuclear Power Plant to
generate steam for generating electricity.
• Energy is released when a Nuclear Weapon
detonates which is due to strong nuclear forces.
Nuclear Force
• Strong Nuclear Force holds
the nuclear particles together
by holding the quarks
together.
• When Strong Nuclear Force
breaks, it creates great
amount of energy that can
produce electricity or even
nuclear explosion
• WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE
–Stronger than gravity but weaker than
electromagnetic force
– Weak nuclear forces are very short range
–Little is known by the scientists
– Force that governs certain types of radioactive
decay. It initiates the process of hydrogen fusion at
stars. It is also responsible for production of helium
from hydrogen which helps in burning of sun and
powers the sun’s thermonuclear energy.
Nuclear Force
• Weak Nuclear Force holds
particles within protons and
neutrons together.
• Weak Nuclear Force is easily
overcome. When Neutrons
decay, they form new atom.
Nuclei that decay in this way
are called radioactive
In terms of strength, these fundamental
forces are ranked accordingly:
Review:
• Force causes changes in the state of
motion of objects.
• They are classified into Contact Force
and Noncontact Force.
• Contact Force exist when objects touch
one another.
• Noncontact Force are those that act on
objects at a distance
