Forces Kirthi 1

Forces and motion are very important in everyday life.
Forces and
motion make things move but also stay where they arare.
e. Motion
simply is just movement but it needs a force to make it move.
move. A
force is a push or pull on an object, which causes things to move or
slow down. There are two types of forces.
Forces
Force is just a fancy word for pushing or pulling. If you push or
pull you are applying a force. For example: if you open a door you
are applying a force. Forces make
make thing move or change their
direction.
Different forces
There are two types of forces, contact forces and at a distance
forces.. Contact forces involve push
forces push,, pull and friction. A contact
force is when two interacting objects are
physically touching, for example: when you are
throwing a ball
ball you are using a contact force.
At a distance force is when two interacting
objects are not touching, for example: the
moon and the Earth’s seas. At a distance forces
encompasses gravity and magnetism.
Contact forces
forces
There are four types of contact forces Normal force, applied force,
force,
tension force and spring force. A normal force is when nothing is
happening. A book resting on a table has gravity pulling it to the
ground. There are oppositing forces acting on the book caused by
the table.
An applied
applied force is a force applied to
an object to make it move, for
example: a person moving furniture,
the person is applying a force to make
the furniture move.
A tension force is a force applied to a

cable or wire anchored on opposite ends to oppositing walls or
objects.
Lastly is spring force, this force is created by a compressed or

stretched spring it can push or pull.
Friction
Friction is a contact force, it happens when objects rub against each
allows
other. Friction allows you to walk without sliding, but the two
things that rub wear things away. The heavier the object is the
friction,, for example a toy train has less
higher the mass and the friction
friction than a real train. There are 4 types of friction,
friction, static
friction, sliding friction, fluid
fluid friction and rolling friction . Static
friction acts on unmoving objects to make it move. It is no longer
exerted once the object is moving.
Sliding friction slows objects down. Sliding friction is produced

break
when bumps on the surface stick together, brea k apart and reform.
The next friction is fluid friction. Fluid friction is exerted on either

the fluid or the object. It is the force that resits motion when a
fluid is involved.
After fluid friction is rolling friction. Rolling friction is a frictional

force between a rolling object and its surface. For example:
wheels on a car. Rolling friction is much less than sliding
friction.
Air resistance is a type of friction. It can slow things down or

speed things up.
Inertia
Next is inertia, inertia is
not a force. It is tthe
he
property of all things due
to mass, the more mass
something has the more
inertia it has this can make
things harder or easier to
move. An object that is
moving tends to stay moving; an object
that is not moving tends to not move.
Non
Non-contact forces
There are two types of non-
non-contact forces gravity
and magnetism. Gravity is a force of attraction
between two objects,
objects, it keeps you on the Earth. The Earth’s gravity
keeps everything close to it like trees, water and air, the heavier the
object the higher the gravity. All objects with mass have gravity,
though what causes it is unknown. Mass is stuff matter is made of.
Weight is the result of gravity pulling on mass.
Magnetism is also a non-

non-contact force.
Magnets attract objects or push them away.
Magnetic objects must be inside the
magnetic
magn etic field to respond. Magnetic
fields
fields are invisible to the human eye.
Motion
Motion makes things go round or move. Motion is the changing
of position or location, but it needs a force to do this. Velocity and
speed are included in motion. Velocity is the speed of an object in
direction,, if the direction changes speed or velocity changes
one direction
with it. Acceleration
Acceleration is to do with how quickly things speed up.
Important people
Albert Einstein
One of the important people is Sir Isa
Isaac Newton; he is
the greatest English mathematician. He saw an apple
fall from a tree which cased creation of his 3 laws. The
first law is if something is moving it keeps moving and
if it is at rest it will stay sill. The second law is a force
acting over an object will changechange its
its speed, direction or both. The
third law is for every force or action there is an equal
or opposite reaction. Albert Einestein was the world’s
most famous scientist of all time. He refined some of
Newton’s theories in his theory of relativity.
Isaac Newton
In conclusion forces and motion are extremely important in

everyday life without it almost nothing will be possible. Different
forces, contact forces, friction Inertia, non-
non-contact forces and
motion are all very important.
