The measuring unit of force and object's weight is newton (N)
Relation to calculate the weight of an object
Object's weight (W) = Object's mass (m) x Earth's gravitational acceleration (g)
Electromagnet
Changes the electric energy into a magnetic energy
Used in making many devices such as electric winches and electric bells
Electric generator (the dynamo)
Changes the mechanical (kinetic) energy into an electric energy
Electric motor
Changes the electric energy into a mechanical energy
Weak nuclear forces
Used to get radioactive elements and radiations, which are used in producing electricity, military purposes, scientific researches, industry, and medicine
Strong nuclear forces
Used in industry
Accompanied forces to motion
Forces originate due to motion
Forces cause motion
Inertia
A property of an object that has to resist the change of its state of rest or motion at a regular speed in a straight line unless an external force acted on it
Friction forces
Resistant forces (against motion) originated between the object in motion and the medium touching it
Benefits of friction
Prevents feet from slipping on roads during walking
Helps in stopping and starting cars motion
Helps in burning of match
Harms of friction
Causes a great loss of mechanical energy
Produces heat energy due to the friction between some parts of the machines, which causes expansion of these parts and affects their performance
Causes the erosion of machines parts and damage them as well
Examples of forces inside living systems
Heart muscle contraction and relaxation
Liquids are transported through pores and the walls of cells from the lower concentration to the higher one
Rising of water and salts from the soil to the plant
The contraction and relaxation of muscles
Speed
The distance covered by an object in a unit time
Relative motion
The change in an object's position or direction as the time passes relative to another object or a fixed point known as frame of reference
Types of motion
Transitional motion
Periodic motion
Circular motion
Wave motion
Mechanical waves
Produced by the vibration of the medium particles
Need a medium to transfer through
Their speed is relatively low
Electromagnetic waves
Accompanied by electromagnetic forces
Spread in all media and free space
Their speed is extremely high equals 300 millions m/sec
Force
An effect that attempts to change the object's state from being static to motion or vice versa or attempts to change the direction of motion
Object's weight
The force of Earth's gravitational to the object
Centre of gravity
The effective point of the object's weight that is located at its centre
Inertia
A property of an object that has to resist the change of its state of rest or motion at a regular speed in a straight line unless an external force acted on it
Friction forces
Resistant forces (against motion) originated between the object in motion and the medium touching it
Biological forces
Forces inside living systems that enable living organisms to do their different biological operations
Speed
The distance covered by an object in a unit time
Relative motion
The change in an object's position or direction as time passes relative to another object or a fixed point known as frame of reference
The reference point
A fixed point used to determine the object's position or to describe its movement
Transitional motion
The motion in which the object's position is changed relative to a fixed point from time to time between initial and final positions
Periodic motion
A motion which is regularly repeated at equal periods of time
Mechanical waves
Waves that need a medium to transfer through
Electromagnetic waves
Waves accompanied by electromagnetic forces and they don't need a medium to travel through
The pencil is still in a static state on the desk because there is no force acting on it
The static ball moves when you kick it because the object changes its state when a proper force acts on it
When you push a wall, it doesn't move because the force acting on it is improper
The mass of the object remains constant by changing its position on the Earth's surface because the mass of the object is the amount of matter that the object contains, and it doesn't change by changing the position
The phrase "The weight of a bag of sugar equals 1 kg" is scientifically not accurate because the amount of 1 kg represents the mass of a bag of sugar and not its weight
The weight of the object is always greater than its mass because the weight equals multiplying the mass of the object by Earth's gravitational acceleration
