lesson 3 Flashcards
State the effects of force
1)It can change the state of rest or motion of the body it can produce motion.
2)It can change the shape and size of the body
3)increase or decrease momentum of a body
Name the 2 kinds of forces and explain each
Contact force: These forces are forces applied on a body by physical contact
Non contact forces: these forces are forces acting a body without being in contact with them meaning there is a distance between object applying the force and object being acted upon
Name the different contact forces
Different contact forces are: Frictional force, Normal reaction force, Tensional force, force by a spring, force by collision of 2 bodies]
Name the different non contact forces
Different non contact forces are: gravitational force, electrostatic force, magnetic force.
What is frictional force
Force acting in the opposite direction of the applied force by the surface in contact with the body
What is normal reaction force
Force acting on a body normal to the surface on which the body is kept on which is equal to the force applied by a body when kept on a surface.
Tensional force
A force develops in a string when a body is attached to the string which acts opposite to the direction of force applied by the body. this force which pulls the body upwards and balances out the weight of the body is called tensional force
what is restoring power
the capability of a spring to return to its original shape or form when force is removed. this is the force acting opposite to the force acting on the spring its magnitude is directly proportional to the magnitude of displacement
What is force of action
When a body collides 2 forces acts on the bodies, the body which collided with other applies a force called force of action
What is force of reaction
The body when acted upon by force of action applies a opposite force at the same instant this force is called force of reaction
what is gravitational force
In this universe particles attract each other due to their mass, this force of attraction is called gravitational force
what is weight
The force on a body by force of attraction of earth is called force of gravity
What is electrostatic force
like and unlike charges attract each other this force of attraction is called electro static force
What is magnetic force
Like poles and unlike poles attract each other this force of attraction is called magnetic attraction
What is the general character of non contact forces
The magnitude of these forces depend on the distance of seperation between them, if seperation decreases then the magnotude of these forces increases
what did scientist believe before Galelio and what did he prove
Before Galelio people believed that the body remains in state of rest until a force acts on it and it remains in state of motion if there is a force acting on it and if the force is removed then the object doesent stay in motion. Galileo proved that body stays in state of rest if its in state of rest and remains in state of motion if its in state of motion unless a opposite force acts on it.
