Activity Title: Contact forces
Learning Targets: To identify and distinguish the different types of contact forces
References: Arciaga, M. E. and Rara, B.H. Exploring Science & Technology IV. pp. 52-53
A Contact forces are forces acting between objects in direct contact with each other.
Examples of contact forces are normal force, frictional force, tensional force, air resistance force,
applied force, and spring force.
1. Normal force It is the support force exerted by an object in contact with another object.
Suppose a plate is on the table. To support the weight of the plate, the table is exerting an upward
force on the plate.
2. Frictional force It is the force exerted by a surface to an object as it moves across the surface.
Frictional force opposes the object’s motion. Suppose a student pushes a table. The floor exerts a
frictional force opposite to the table’s direction of motion.
3. Tensional force It is the force acting on an object which are tightly pulled by forces acting on the
ends of an object. When you pull both ends of a string, you exert tensional forces on it.
4. Air resistance It is a special type of frictional force. When an object travels in air, the particles
in the air exert resistance on the object. Air resistance also opposes the object’s motion.
5. Applied force It is the force applied by an object to another object. Suppose a student pushed a
table. The “push” given by the student on the table is the applied force.
6. Spring force It is the force exerted by a stretched or compresses string attached to an object.
Spring force allows an object to return to its resting or equilibrium position.
Force is a vector quantity which has magnitude and direction. The magnitude of the force
indicates how large the applied force is. On the other hand, the direction of the force
indicates in what direction the force is applied.

Newton’s first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia is a property of an
object to resist any change in its state of motion or rest. There are forces that act on objects
whether they are at rest or in motion. If these forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in
direction, they cause objects to keep moving or remain at rest. In other qords, the sum of
these forces is zero or unbalanced. In symbols, we heve . F  0

These forces are called external forces. An External force is any force that causes
imbalance to the current state of object’s motion whether at rest or in motion. For instance, a
moving object can slow down, speed up, or stop; or an object at rest can move.
To illustrate how forces act on objects, look at the
box at rest on top of the table. You can say that there
are forces acting on the box even if it is at rest. The
weight of the box and the normal force are the forces
acting on the box. Weight is the force exerted on the
object by the Earth’s center. Recall that mass is the
amount of matter present in an object and it always
remain the same regardless of the object’s location.
Mass is a measure of the object’s resistance to changes
in its motion due to force. The greater the mass of a
bidy, the less it accelerates under the action of a given
applied force.
In figure 1, a downward arrow represents the weight
which is due to Earth’s gravity, and an upward arrow
represents the normal force. The normal force has a Figure 1. These are the forces acting on
magnitude equal to the object’s weight. The direction of the twothe
forces is opposite
box while at rest. each other.
This explains why the box is at rest, because the forces acting on it are balanced.
Let’s take another example. Suppose a boy
pushes a box horizontally on top of the table.
The force exerted by the boy on the box
changes its current state of motion. This force
is an external force. The other force acting on
the box is friction. Note that friction is a
force that impedes motion. Although, the
direction of friction and the direction of the
applied force by the boyare opposite, the sum
of these forces is not zero because the
10
magnitude of the force exerted by the boy is
larger than the magnitude of friction as
ilkustrated by the lenght of their arrows in
Figure 1. These are the forces acting on the box figure 2.

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and
inversely proportional to its mass.
Newton’s first law of motion is about equilibrium forces that cause moving objects to keep moving
or object’s at rest to remain at rest. However, when an external unbalanced force acts on the object,
the forces acting on an object are no longer in equilibrium. Thus, there is a change in the current state
of an object’s motion or state of rest. In figure 2, the force exerted by the boy (external unbalanced
force) causes the box, which is initially at rest, to move.
a
F
In mathematicl formula, Newton’s 2nd law of motion is expressed as m .
where: a- is acceleration,
m - is the mass of an abject
 F - is the net force exerted on an object.
Acceleration and force. The object’s acceleration is directly proportional to the net external
force exerted on it. If the force exerted to an object is double, its acceleration is also doubled.
Figure 1. The magnitude of acceleration is proportional to the magnitude of force exerted.

The direction of acceleration is also the same as the direction of force.
Acceleration and mass. The object’s acceleration is inversely proportional to its mass. A
heavy object accelerates less than a light object assuming that the magnitude of the force
exerted on these two objects is the same.
