Forces Introduction and Types of Forces

The document explains the concept of force, defining it as a push or pull that can change the motion of objects and is measured in Newtons. It categorizes forces into contact forces, like friction and tension, and non-contact forces, such as gravity and magnetic force, providing examples for each type. Additionally, it discusses how forces can start or stop motion, change speed or direction, and alter the shape of objects.

Forces: Introduction
and Types of Forces
What is Force?
Force is a physical concept that describes the
interaction between two objects that can change
the motion of one or both of them.
Measured in Newtons (N)

In simpler terms, force is a push or pull that can


cause an object to move, stop, or change
direction.
Examples: Pushing a door, pulling a rope, lifting a
bag.
Effects of forces
A force can:
1. Start or stop motion.
2. Speed up or slow down an object.
3. Change the direction of motion.
4. Change the shape of an object.
Types of Force
Contact Force Non-Contact Force
These are forces that act between These are forces that can act between
two objects that are physically two objects without them physically
touching each other. touching each other.
Contact Force Non-Contact Force

Friction Resistance Gravity Magnetic Force

Tension Applied Force Electrostatic Force


Contact Force 01
Friction
Friction is a force that happens when two surfaces rub
against each other. It's like a sticky force that can
make things harder to move smoothly.

Example:
Pushing a heavy box is harder than pushing a lighter box
because of friction between the box and the floor.
Contact Force 02
Resistance
Resistance is a force that happens when something
tries to slow down or stop another thing from moving.

Example:
A paraglider stays in the air because of air resistance.
The wind pushes against the paraglider and creates
the force.
Contact Force 03
Tension FOrce
Tension force is a type of force that happens when an
object is pulled in opposite directions by two forces.

Example:
Swinging on a swing creates tension in the ropes or
chains holding the seat up, keeping the swing suspended
and allowing the person to swing.
Contact Force 04
Applied Force
Applied force is when one object pushes or pulls on
another object. It happens when you use your muscles
to push or pull an object in a certain direction.

Example:
When playing soccer, a player uses their foot to push the
ball with force, making it move in the air. The harder the
player kicks the ball, the stronger the force they apply.
Non-Contact Force 01
Gravity
Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each
other. It is what keeps us on the ground and what
makes things fall down.

Example:
When you jump on a trampoline, you come back down
because of gravity. Gravity is a force that pulls things
towards the ground.
Non-Contact Force 02
Magnetic Force
Magnetic force is a type of non-contact force that
acts between magnets or magnetic objects.

Example:
A magnet crane is a machine that uses a strong magnet to
pick up metal objects. When the magnet is turned on, it
creates a magnetic field that attracts the metal objects.
Non-Contact Force 03
Electrostatic
Electrostatic force is the force between two objects
that have an electric charge. Like charges repel,
opposite charges attract.

Example:
Lightning is caused by a build-up of electrical charge in
the air that suddenly discharges, creating a big flash of
light and loud thunder.
Measuring Force
Forces are measured in Newtons (N) using a spring scale.
1 Newton: The force needed to accelerate a 1 kg object at 1 m/s².
