Forces in Actions

Discovering the Science Behind


Movement
Think About This!
How will you make the
ball move?
If the ball is already
moving, how will you
make it stop?
How will you change its
direction?
What is Force?
Force is a physical concept that
describes the interaction between two
objects that can change the motion
of one or both of them.

In simpler terms, force is


a push or pull that can
cause an object to move,
stop, or change
direction.
Types of Force
Contact Force Non-Contact Force
These are forces that These are forces that can
act between two act between two objects
objects that are without them physically
physically touching touching each other.
each other.
Contact Force Non-Contact Force

Friction Resistance Gravity Magnetic Force

Tension Applied Force Electrostatic Force


Contact Force 01
Normal
Force exerted by a
surface in contact with an
object
Example:
A book experiences a
normal force exerted by the
table it is resting on
Contact Force 02
Applied Force
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.

Example:
When playing soccer, a player uses their
foot to push the ball with force, making it
move in the air. The harder the player
kicks the ball, the stronger the force they
apply.
Contact Force 03
Friction
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.

Example:
Pushing a heavy box is harder
than pushing a lighter box
because of friction between the
box and the floor.
Contact Force 04
Tension Force
Tension force is a type of force that
happens when an object is pulled in
opposite directions by two forces.

Example:
Swinging on a swing creates tension in
the ropes or chains holding the seat up,
keeping the swing suspended and
allowing the person to swing.
Contact Force 05
Spring
The force present in springs,
causing them to return to the
original position after being
stretched or compressed
Example:
When you stretched the spring
and let go, the restoring force
brings it back to its equilibrium
position
Contact Force 06
Resistance
Resistance is a force that happens
when something tries to slow down or
stop another thing from moving.

Example:
A paraglider stays in the air because of
air resistance. The wind pushes against
the paraglider and creates the force.
Contact Force 07
Buoyant
An upward force exerted by a fluid
on a submerged object

Example:
Some objects such as a ship, float
in water because the buoyant
force from the fluid is greater than
their weight
Non-Contact Force 01
Gravity
Gravity is a force that pulls objects
towards each other. It is what keeps us
on the ground and what makes things
fall down.

Example:
When you jump on a trampoline, you come
back down because of gravity. Gravity is a
force that pulls things towards the ground.
Non-Contact Force 02
Magnetic Force
Magnetic force is a type of non-
contact force that acts between
magnets or magnetic objects.

Example:
A magnet crane is a machine that
uses a strong magnet to pick up
metal objects. When the magnet is
turned on, it creates a magnetic
field that attracts the metal
objects.
Non-Contact Force 03
Electrostatic
Electrostatic force is the force between two
objects that have an electric charge. Like
charges repel, opposite charges attract.

Example:
Lightning is caused by a build-up of electrical
charge in the air that suddenly discharges,
creating a big flash of light and loud thunder.
