What is force
Pull or push upon on object
What are types of force
Gravitational force
Normal force
Weight
Elastic force
Buoyant force
Frictional force
What is gravitational force
Force that points towards the centre of the Earth
Causes all objects thrown upwards to fall back to Earth
What is normal force
Force produced when an object is in contact with a surface
(Perpendicular to object)
What is weight
Gravitational force acting on it
What is elastic force
When a material is stretched or compressed
What is buoyant force
Thrust force acting on an object that is floating on the surface of a fluid
What is frictional force
Force that resists movement between two surfaces that are in contact with each other
What is the direction of frictional force
Opposite direction of motion
What quantity is force
Vector quantity, has magnitude & direction
What is magnitude
Quantity or value of a measurement
What is the point of application
Exact location at which a force is applied to a body
How to measure force & what is the principle used
Spring balance
Spring extension - Magnitude is obtained by reading the scale on the balance
What is the SI unit of force
newton (N)
On Earth, I N -> ?
100g
or 1kg = 10N
