KINDS OF

FORCE
WHAT IS
FORCE?
• Force is a push or pull exerted on
an object that can cause changes in
its motion, shape, or orientation.
• Force is a vector quantity.
• N (Newton) - Standard SI Unit of
Force
• Force is described by Newton’s
2nd Law of Motion
F = ma
 WHO
DISCOVERED
FORCE?
The concept of force, as it
relates to motion, was
formalized by Sir Isaac Newton
(1642–1727), a British
physicist and mathematician.
WHAT A FORCE
CAN DO?
• A force can cause an object to speed up
(accelerate) or slow down (decelerate).
• A force can change the direction of an
object’s velocity without altering its
speed.
• Forces can deform an object by
stretching, compressing, bending, or
twisting it.
• A force can cause an object at rest
to start moving, or a moving object to
come to a stop.
• A force applied at a distance
from an object's pivot point can
cause it to rotate.
KINDS OF
FORCES
1. CONTACT FORCE
2. NON-CONTACT
FORCES
3. OTHER TYPES OF
FORCES
CONTACT FORCE
It happens when two objects
physically touch each other to
create a force.
CONTACT FORCE
EXAMPLE :
CONTACT FORCE
Spring Force
Applied Force
Air Resistance Force
Friction Force
Tension Force
Normal Force
Bouyant Force
SPRING FORCE
Spring force is exerted by a spring
when it is stretched or
compressed. The spring either
pulls or pushes back to return to its
original shape.
SPRING FORCE
APPLIED FORCE
This is a force that is applied to
an object by a person or another
object. For example, when you
push a book across a table, you
are applying force.
APPLIED FORCE
AIR RESISTANCE FORCE
Air resistance, or drag, is a force
that opposes the motion of
objects moving through air. It
slows objects down, especially
when they are moving quickly.
AIR RESISTANCE FORCE
FRICTION FORCE
Friction is a force that resists the
movement of one surface
against another. It slows down or
stops objects when they slide or
roll across a surface.
FRICTION FORCE
TENSION FORCE
Tension is the force exerted
through a string, rope, or cable
when it is pulled tight by forces
acting at each end. It keeps the
object from breaking apart.
TENSION FORCE
NORMAL FORCE
This is the support force exerted by
a surface that holds an object up.
For example, when you stand on
the ground, the normal force
prevents you from falling through.
NORMAL FORCE
BOUYANT FORCE
Buoyant force is the upward force
that liquids exert on objects
placed in them. This force allows
objects like boats to float in
water.
BOUYANT FORCE
NON-CONTACT FORCE
A force that acts on an object
without physical contact. These
include forces like gravity,
magnetism, and electricity.
NON-CONTACT FORCE
• Gravitational Force
• Magnetic Force
• Electrical Force
• Electromagnetic Force
• Nuclear Force
GRAVITATIONAL FORCE
Gravity is the force that pulls
objects toward each other, such
as the Earth pulling everything
towards its center. It is what
makes things fall when dropped.
GRAVITATIONAL FORCE
MAGNETIC FORCE
Magnetic force is the attraction or
repulsion between objects due to
their magnetic fields. Magnets
can pull certain metals toward
them or push them away.
MAGNETIC FORCE
ELECTRICAL FORCE
Electrical force is the force
between charged objects.
Opposite charges attract each
other, while similar charges repel
each other.
ELECTRICAL FORCE
ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE
Electromagnetic force combines both
electric and magnetic forces and can
act on charged particles. It’s
responsible for many everyday
phenomena, like how electricity
works.
ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE
NUCLEAR FORCE
Nuclear force is a strong force that
holds the particles in the nucleus
of an atom together. It is much
stronger than other forces but acts
over a very short distance.
NUCLEAR FORCE
OTHER TYPES OF
FORCE
BALANCED FORCE
Forces of equal strength acting
in opposite directions on an
object, canceling each other out.
When forces are balanced, the
object does not move.
UNBALANCED FORCE
Unbalanced forces occur when
two or more forces acting on an
object are not equal in size. This
causes the object to accelerate,
change direction, or change
speed.
STATIC FORCE
Static force refers to forces
acting on objects that are not
moving. These forces keep
an object at rest and prevent
it from moving.
DYNAMIC FORCE
Dynamic force refers to the
forces acting on objects that are
already moving. These forces
can change the speed or
direction of the object’s motion.
