Activity 1.

Forces on objects at rest

Objective:

After accomplishing this activity, you should be able to identify what


forces are acting on an object at rest.

Material:
picture

Directions:
A. Look and study the picture below.

Figure 17. A block of wood lying on a table.

Figure 17 shows a block of wood lying on a table.


Questions:

1. Is the block of wood at rest or in motion?


2. Refer to the figure below. Draw the forces acting on the block of
wood. Use the dot as the origin of the forces.
Activity 2. Balance of forces

Objectives:

After performing this activity, you should be able to:

1. Examine the situation when the forces are balanced; and


2. Explain the effect of balanced forces on the state of motion of an
object.

Materials:

Pictures

Procedure:

Examine the pictures below:

Figure 18. Balanced forces in a tug-of-war Figure 19. A ball pushed on the floor

FA - applied force on the rope by Team A FN – force exerted by the floor on the ball FB - applied FA
FB - force on the rope by Team B Fg - force exerted by the Earth on the ball
Ff - opposite force in the direction of the motion or frictional
force
FAPPLIED – applied force on the ball
For question numbers 1-3, refer to Figure 18.

1. If two groups in the game are exerting equal and opposite forces on
the rope, will the rope move?

2. In the same condition, what happens to the net force acting on the
rope?

3. What are the forces present on the rope?

4. Refer to Figure 19. If you place a ball on the floor then push it
gently to one side, observe the motion of the ball as it rolls down
the floor.
a. What makes the ball stop rolling after sometime?
b. What are the forces that act on the ball?
Activity 3. Unbalanced forces
Objectives:

After performing this activity, you should be able to:

1. Examine the situations when the forces are unbalanced; and


2. Explain the effect of unbalanced forces on the state of motion of an
object.

Materials:

Pictures

Procedure:

Examine the pictures below.

Fig 20. Unbalanced forces in a tug-of-war

For question numbers 1-2, refer to figure 20.


1. If two groups in the game are exerting unequal and opposite forces on
the ground, will the rope move?

2. Will the net force be equal to zero?

3. To what direction does the rope move?

For question numbers 4 – 6, refer to figure 21.


1. Are the forces acting on the chandelier unbalanced?

2. What force can cause the chandelier to fall?

3. What type of force is your answer in number 4?
