What is a force?
• A force is a push or a pull.
• Forces can make things speed up, slow
down, change direction or deform it’s shape
• Forces are measured in newtons (N)

Weight, mass
and gravity

© Boardworks Ltd 2003


Weight and mass

Weight and mass are not the same.

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.


This will have the same value anywhere in the
Universe including space.

Weight is a force and it is caused by the pull of


gravity.

In fact, weight is the pull of gravity acting on a mass.

Weight and mass

Weight is a force so is measured in Newtons.


Like other forces it has both magnitude and direction.

Mass is not a force; it is measured in kilograms.


A 1 kg mass will weigh less on the moon than it does
on Earth.
This is because the force of gravity is less on the
moon because the moon is smaller than the Earth.
An astronaut could jump 20 feet into the air on the
moon because gravity is less.
However, he still has the same body, and the same
mass, he just weighs less, because he is on the moon
and gravity is weaker.

Weight and mass

So, a scientist should NEVER say “He weighs 50kgs”


but, should say
“He has a mass of 50kgs”,
or the scientist could say:
“the gravitational force acting on his mass is
about 500 Newtons”.
This is the same as saying:
“his weight is about 500 Newtons”.

What is friction?
If you rub your hands together they get warm.
There is resistance to the rubbing motion.
What do we call this resistive force?
friction

What causes this force?

Your hands might look


smooth, but on a microscopic
level they have rough
surfaces. So when you rub
your hands together you get
the resistive force of friction.

Friction
• Is a contact force that acts when two surfaces rub
against each other.
• Friction always tries to slow moving objects down.
We say it opposes motion.
• The amount of frictional force depends on the
textures of the surfaces in contact with each other.

- Smooth or silk surfaces provide much less friction


than rough or bumpy ones.
- Wet surfaces will provide less friction than dry
surfaces.
- More friction , slower movement .

What is electrostatic force?
• Is a non-contact force between objects that
have an electrical charge.
• Charged objects repel and attract in the
following ways:

What is magnetic force?
• Is a non-contact force between 2 magnets or
between a magnet and another magnetic metal.

Air resistance
• Is a contact force that the air exerts on a moving
object.
• It acts opposite to the motion and causes the moving
object to slow down.
• It is also called a drag !!.
• The more the drag, the slower the motion.

Buoyancy
• Is a contact force exerted by a liquid on any object
immersed in it.
• It pushes the object upwards .
• If the buoyancy force is less than the force of
gravity , then the object sinks.
• If both buoyancy force and the weight are equal,
then the object floats.
