defined as a push or pull
force
force Has a unit of
newton
newton is equal to
kg.m/s2
Any influence that can change an object’s motion
force
two categories of force
contact force
non contact force
– force directly applied to a body.
contact force
examples of contact force
Normal force
Frictional force
Tension force
Weight
acts through an empty space
non contact force
example of non contact force
Electric field
Magnetism
gravitational
- Types of force
Tensile force (t)
Normal force (Fn
Frictional force (Ff or f)
Weight (W)
compressive
is the force acting along the string when stretched or compressed
tensile force
supporting force perpendicular to the surface area when two objects are in contact with each other
normal force
tangential force acting on an object that opposes the sliding of the object on an adjacent surface in which it is contact
frictional force
static frictional force
fs
kinetic frictional force
