FORCES

Force
Is a push or pull acting upon
an object as a result of its
interaction with another object.
Does force always
cause motion?
Displacement a.) Rate of change in speed
and direction over time

b.) A vector quantity that


Velocity designates how fast and in what
direction a point is moving.

c.) Defined as the change


Acceleration in position of an object.
Can force always affect change in the
state of motion of an object?
• Magnitude
-Refers to the size or strength of the force.
-It is commonly expressed in Newton (N) for Meter-Kilogram-Second
(MKS) system
-Dyne(dyn) for Centimeter–Gram–Second (CGS) system
-Pounds (lbs) for Foot–Pound–Second (FPS) system.

In the International System of Units (SI),


Newton is commonly used which is named after Sir Isaac Newton, an
English physicist and mathematician.
• Direction
-Points to where the object goes.
-The direction of the arrowhead indicates the direction of the force.
-The length of the arrow represents the amount of force (relative
magnitude).
•Point of application
-The location of where the force is applied.
•line of action
-Is the straight line passing through the point of
application and is parallel to the direction of force.
2 types of force

•Contact force
•Non-contact force
•Contact force
Forces where objects touch or contact with each other.

1. Applied
2. Friction
3. Normal
4. Tension
•Contact force
1. Applied
a force given to a person or object by
another person or object.
Its symbol is F depending on who or what
applies force to the object.
If a boy applies a force to a wall, we denote
it with FBOY.
• Contact force
2. Friction
is the force acting against or opposite an object in contact with which
makes the movement of the object slow down.
Friction always opposes the motion of an object. Its symbol is written as Ff.
Air resistance denoted by FAIR is an example of frictional force of the air
against a flying kite, airplanes, parachutes or those in skydiving sports.
For free-falling objects, this force is always considered negligible, meaning
the magnitude is unnoticeable.
•Contact force
3. Normal
is the force that acts perpendicular to the
surface of the object in contact with. Its
symbol is FN.
•Contact force
4. Tension
is the force applied to string, rope, chain or
cable. Its symbol is T.
•Non-contact force
forces where objects do not touch or contact with each
other.
These forces act over a zone or area called field.

1. Gravitational (Fg)
2. Magnetic
•Non-contact force
1. Gravitational (Fg)
Is the force of attraction between two objects.
Mass and distance of the two objects affect the gravitational
force that holds them. The bigger the masses of the objects are,
the bigger is the gravitational force between them. The closer
the objects are, the greater is the gravitational force between
them.
•Non-contact force
1. Magnetic
Magnetic– are forces exerted on a field of attraction or
repulsion as in the case of magnets and other magnetic
materials.
Balanced
or
Unbalanced
Balanced forces
Forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in
direction.

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion.


When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the
object will not move.
Unbalanced forces

Forces that cause a change in the motion of an


object.
Unbalanced forces are not equal and in opposite
direction.
Net or Resultant force (∑f)
Is the sum of all forces acting on an object.
When an object is at rest, a zero net force would
make the object remains at rest.
On the other hand, when the net force is not zero,
the object’s velocity will change. A net force
exerted to an object at rest may cause the object
to move.
