FORCE

Force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction or shape. Forces occur due to interactions between two objects. The net force on an object depends on the direction and magnitude of all individual forces acting on the object. Contact forces include muscular force and friction and occur when objects touch. Non-contact forces include magnetic, gravitational, and electrostatic forces and act without touching.

WHAT IS
FORCE????
FORCE
Force is the push or pull on an object.
Eg:- If an object has to be moved, it has to be pushed or pulled.
CAUSE OF A FORCE

• Whenever a force is applied, there is interaction


between two bodies.
• In other words we can say that an interaction
between at least two bodies is necessary for
application of a force.
FORCES ARE DUE TO INTERACTION :-
An interaction of one object on another object results in a
force between the two objects.
Eg :- If a man stands behind a car, the car does not move.
If he pushes the car, he applies force and the car begins to
move in the direction of the applied force.
FORCE DEPENDS ON:-
• When two or more forces are involved, the
strength of the force (net force) depends
on the direction of each of the forces as
well as the its magnitude.
• When forces are applied in same direction,
they get add together whereas when the
forces are in opposite direction, the net
force is difference of the forces.
RESULTANT (OR NET) FORCE
Case: 1
Case : 2
Case:3
EXPLORING FORCES :-
a) If two forces act on a body in the same direction, the net force is
the sum of the two forces.

F1
F2

Net force = F1 + F2
b) If two forces act on a body in opposite directions, the net force is
the difference between the two forces.

F1 F2

Net force = F2 – F1
The effect on the object depends on the net force acting on it.
EFFECTS OF FORCE ON AN OBJECT :-
i) Force can make an object to move from rest.
ii) Force can stop a moving object.
iii) Force can change the speed of an object if it is
moving.
iv) Force can change the direction of a motion of an
object.
v) Force can change the shape of an object.
Force may cause one or more of these effects.
WHY?????
Let’s Test our self!!!!!!
Q1. Which among the following can apply
force?
Lion, Human, Wall, Water
A. Only lion and Human
B. Only lion, Human and Wall
C. Only lion, Human and Water
D. All
Q2. The picture shows a goalkeeper trying
to stop the goal. Which type of force is he
applying on the ball? (Assume that he
does not move his hand backwards).

A.Push force
B.Pull force
C.None of the above
Q3. Hitting a ball with a bat is an example of
push type of force.

True or False ?
Q4. In a game of tug of war, the fat person
in team B can apply 50 units of force.
Three people in team A can apply 10, 20 ,
15 units of force respectively. Which team
is going to win?
A.Team A
B.Team B
C.It’s a tie

Contact forces :- are forces exerted by one object on another
when they are in contact with each other.
Contact forces are of two types. They are :-
i) Muscular force : exerted by muscles of the body.
ii) Force of friction : slows things down or prevents things from
moving. It always opposes the motion.

Non contact forces :- are forces exerted by one object on


another without any contact with each other.
Non contact forces are of three types. They are :-
i) Magnetic force : exerted by magnet on certain metals like iron.
ii) Gravitational force : the force with which the earth pulls
everything towards itself.
iii) Electrostatic force : the force exerted by electrostatic charge
(positive and negative).
CONTACT FORCES :-
i) Muscular force :-
Muscular force is the force exerted by the muscles of our body.
We use muscular force for our various activities.
Animals like bullocks, horses, camels, donkeys, elephants also
use muscular force to perform various tasks.
ii) Force of friction :-
Force of friction is the force which opposes the motion of an object

over a surface.
Eg :- A ball rolling on ground gradually slows down and comes to
rest due to force of friction.
If we stop pedalling a bicycle, it gradually slows down and
comes to a stop due to force of friction.
NON CONTACT FORCES :-
i) Magnetic force :-
Magnetic force is the force exerted by magnets.
Eg :- Force of attraction and repulsion between two magnets.
Force exerted by a magnet on a piece of iron or steel.
ii) Gravitational force :-
Gravitational force is the force exerted by the earth on all objects. It
pulls all objects towards the earth.
Eg :- A coin or pen falls down when it slips off your hand.
A ball thrown upward falls down .
Leaves and fruits fall to the ground when they get detached
from the plant.
Water in rivers flow downwards.
iii) Electrostatic force :-

Electrostatic force is the force exerted by a charged body on


another charged or uncharged body.
Eg :- A plastic straw charged by rubbing with paper attracts a
suspended plastic straw.
A plastic straw charged by rubbing with paper repels a
suspended plastic charged by rubbing with paper.
