FORCE

BY SANDEEP VERMA
What is a Force?
• A push or a pull on an object in a
particular direction.
Forces
• The measure of interaction
between two objects (pull or
push)
• Vector quantity: has magnitude
and direction
• May be a contact force or a field
force
• Contact forces result from physical
contact between two objects
• Field forces act between
disconnected objects
• Also called “action at a distance”
Forces

• Gravitational Force
• Archimedes Force
• Friction Force
• Tension Force
• Spring Force
CONTACT FORCES
Force through CONTACT:
*Virtually all actions require a…

NON-CONTACT FORCES
• Does not require contact:
Magnetic:
Static:

Gravity:

Forces are measured in


NEWTONS
GRAVITY
An attractive force that exists between all
objects that have mass.
This force is dependent on mass and
distance from the object.
WHAT IS FRICTION?
• Friction is a force that resists the motion of
two surfaces that are touching.
• When a moving object comes in contact with another object,
friction is the opposing force that slows or stops the moving
object.
*Static

*Sliding

*Fluid…air or water
• Without friction, an object would continue to move at
constant speed forever.

• The strength of the force of friction depends on the type


of surfaces and how hard the surfaces push together.

• Rough surfaces produce greater friction than smooth


surfaces.
Sliding Friction

•A resistance to movement that is created when


two things rub together.
Ways to Reduce Friction

• Smooth the surface / Put ball bearings in wheels


• Replace rolling with sliding / Add oil or another type of lubricant
Fluid Friction
• The force that tries to slow objects down when they move through a
liquid or a gas. It's also known as "drag", or "air resistance".
• All gases and liquids are fluids.
• An airplane and a swimmer both experience fluid friction.
The Laws of Motion
• Newton’s first law
• Force
• Mass

Isaac Newton’s work represents one of the


greatest contributions to science ever made
by an individual.
Newton’s First Law
• An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an
object in motion tends to stay in motion with the
same speed and in the same direction unless
acted upon by an unbalanced force

 An object at rest remains at rest as long as no net force acts on it


 An object moving with constant velocity continues to move with
the same speed and in the same direction (the same velocity) as
long as no net force acts on it
 “Keep on doing what it is doing”
Newton’s First Law
• An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an
object in motion tends to stay in motion with the
same speed and in the same direction unless
acted upon by an unbalanced force

 When forces are balanced, the acceleration of the object is zero


 Object at rest: v = 0 and a = 0
 Object in motion: v  0 and a = 0

 The net force is defined as the vector sum of all the external forces
exerted on the object. If the net force is zero, forces are balanced.
When forces are balances, the object can be stationary, or move
with constant velocity.
Mass and Inertia
 Every object continues in its state of rest, or uniform
motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change
that state by unbalanced forces impressed upon it
 Inertia is a property of objects
to resist changes is motion!
 Mass is a measure of the
amount of inertia.
 Mass is a measure of the resistance of an object to
changes in its velocity
 Mass is an inherent property of an object
 Scalar quantity and SI unit: kg
Units of Force
• Newton’s second law:
  
Fnet   F  ma
• SI unit of force is a Newton (N)`
kg m
1 N 1 2
s
• US Customary unit of force is a pound (lb)
• 1 N = 0.225 lb
• Weight, also measured in lbs.
