1

force

is a concept that describes the interaction between two objects that can change the motion of one or both of them

2
  • move

  • stop

  • change direction

force is a push or pull that can cause an objec to

New cards
3

CONTACT FORCE

It is a force that requires contact on both objects to occur.

New cards
4

CONTACT FORCE

Force between two bodies that are in direct contact with each other.

New cards
5

TYPES OF CONTACT FORCES

  • normal force

  • tensional force

  • frictional force

  • air resistance/drag force

New cards
6

normal force

A force is exerted against the gravitational force present by objects touching each other.

New cards
7

tensional force

A force applied to a rope, string or cable that makes them to be compressed or to be stretched by pulling on each side.

New cards
8

frictional force

A force created by both surfaces of the objects that is being rubbed against each other resulting by moving in either same direction or different direction.

New cards
9

air resistance/drag force

A force in the opposite direction of object in air or fluid.

New cards
10

non-contact forces

Action at a distance forces is the other term for non-contact force and only results when two objects interact without any physical contact with each other.

New cards
11

non-contact forces

Regardless of their physical separation they can exert push or pull to the object.

New cards
12

types of non-contact forces

  • magnetic force

  • electrostatic force

  • gravitational force

New cards
13

magnetic force

Attraction and repulsion resulted by putting together the end of same poles or different poles of the magnetic object.

New cards
14

electrostatic force

Just like magnetic force, is either attractive or repulsive resulted by positive and negative charges of particles.

New cards
15

gravitational force

Pulling of objects with masses towards the center of the Earth.
