force and pressure Flashcards
1
Q
what is force? name effects of force. and types of force
A
a push or a pull on an object is called a force.
- changes state
- changes size and shape
a. contact force
b. non contact force
2
Q
explain effects of force?
A
a change in either the speed or direction of an object, or both, is described as a change in state of motion.
a change in shape and size of the object due to the applied force is described as change in shape and size.
3
Q
type of contact force and explain them
A
- muscular force- the force resulting due to the action of muscles.
- frictional force - the force resulting due to the friction between the surface and the object.
4
Q
explain non - contact force and explain me
A
- electrostatics force - the force exerted by a charged body on another uncharged body is known as electrostatics force.
- gravitational force - objects or things fall towards the earth because it pulls them. this force is called force of gravity or gravity.
5
Q
what is pressure? name the unit
A
the force acting on a unit area of a surface is called pressure.
pressure = force/ area on which is acts
p = f/a
6
