can you feel the force?

  • Force is a physical concept that describes the interaction between two objects that can change the motion of one or both of them.
  • Force is a push & pull that can cause an object to move, stop, or change direction.
  • Types of force: Contact Force & Non-contact force
  • 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.
    Friction
  • Resistance is a force that happens when something tries to slow down or stop another thing from moving.
  • Tension force is a type of force that happens when an object is pulle in opposite directions by two forces.
  • 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.
    Applied force
  • Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other.
  • It is what keeps us on the ground and what makes things fall down.
    Gravity
  • Magnetic force is a type of non-contact force that acts between magnets or magnetic objects.
  • Electrostatic is the force between two objects that have an electric charge.
  • Force classified into: Balanced forces & Unbalanced forces
  • Balanced forces are two equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions.
  • When the force is balanced, the object either stays at rest or continues to move at the same speed and at the same directions.
  • Balanced forces is present in hanging, floating, standing, or sitting objects.
  • Unbalanced forces are two unequal forces acting on an objects.
  • Unbalanced forces also make the object speed up, slow down, change direction, remain in place, or change in shape.
  • As soon as an outside force is applied, a stationary object starts to move.
  • Force is measured in newton (N).
  • A unit named in honor of Sir Isaac Newton.
    Newton
  • A net force is the total amount of all the forces acting on an object.
  • Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on a object.
  • Mass determines the amount of a material in a object.
  • The use of force can have positive or negative effects.
