Let us begin!

Task 1: Read the brief discussion of the lesson under UNIT 12: FORCES Lesson 12.1: Force

Have you ever wondered what makes

you move whenever you ride the swing in
the playground? What makes you stop when
you wanted to do so? There are instances
also wherein the swing moves even if no one
is seated on it. The answer is all because of
force. Force exists between interacting
objects. It makes an object move or stops
from moving. It also maintains order in the
surrounding by pulling things on the ground.
Understanding the different kinds of forces
and how they can cause changes improves
one’s ability to choose the best actions safely.
Force is everywhere. There is a force between the sun and the planets. There is also a
force between a chair and the floor. You are applying forces while you are seated and reading
this notes. When you play and move around, you exert force in order to do the actions that
you want to do. Even the things that seem to be stationary have forces that are interacting
with one another. What is force?

Task 2: Read and understand the following discussions with examples:

Force acts on two or more interacting objects. The illustration below shows an example of
how force acts on two objects.
A hand and a toy car are two
different objects. When the hand moves
the toy car forward, there is an
interaction. The hand pushes the toy car,
and it moves. The toy car and a wall are
also two different things that can interact.
The moving toy car can either change its
direction or stop when its movement
pushes itself against the wall.
Force is measurable. The amount
of force an object exerts on another can be less than, equal to, or greater than the force of the
other object it interacts. Interacting objects in opposite directions with an equal amount of
force exerted on each other are said to be balanced. When there is a balanced force acting on
an object, the object remains at rest. On the other hand, when one object exerted a greater
amount of force than the other, the forces become unbalanced. This results in the movement
of an object. For instance, the hand has greater force than the toy car and causes the toy car to
move. The toy car has less force than the wall which makes it stop from moving.
All objects exert force as they interact with another object. A hand exerts a force on a
toy car and the toy car also exerts a force on the hand. The toy car moves because the hand
exerts a greater force compared to
the toy car.

Force has direction. The hand

pushes the toy car forward, causing
it to move away from the hand. The wall pushes the car in the direction opposite to its
movement, causing it to stop.

Changes That Are Caused by Forces

Force cannot be seen, but its effects make it known
that it acts on things. It can cause changes in
objects, which are readily observable.
Force can make things move. There are instances
wherein objects at rest start to move. It is due to
the force that acted on it. For example, when you
play a kickball, the ball is placed on a marker on
the floor before you hit. The ball remains at rest
until you kick it. When a ball is kicked, the foot
pushes the ball. The action causes the ball to move
away from the foot. The force that acted on the
ball is stronger than the force that holds the ball
on the ground.
The same push can be used when
swimming. The swimmer pushes the water away
as it moves forward with each stroke. When a
wheeled bag is pulled, it also moves towards the direction of the one that pulls.
Push or pull can make objects move in a
certain direction. The direction may be towards or
away from the doer of the action. Force can change
the direction of a moving object. Tree leaves sway in a
different direction due to the force exerted by the
blowing wind. During a heavy rain with strong
wind, the wind can push the umbrella in different
directions.
In table tennis, players push the ball with a paddle to change its direction all throughout the
game.

Force can keep an object in place. When a cup is

on a table, it exerts a force on the table. It is
pushing down on the table. The table pushes
the cup upwards with the same amount of force.
The cup and the table exert an equal amount of
strength but on opposite direction.

Force can change the shape and the size of an

object. Aside from making an object move,
force can also alter the appearance of an
object by changing its shape and size. Paper
folding consists of pulling and pushing to
change the shape of the paper.
When making a paper airplane, one
starts with pulling one corner and pushing it
down to the center of the paper. After the
steps in paper folding, the paper airplane is
changed both in size and shape.

Types of Forces
There are different kinds of forces that act on objects. Some forces exist between objects that
are touching each other. These are known as contact forces. On the other hand, some forces
can act on objects even if the objects are far apart from one another. These are known as
noncontact forces.
Friction is a type of force that acts on all objects that are in contact or touching each other.
Friction acts opposite to the direction of a moving object.

When a ball rolls on the floor, it

rubs against its surface. Though the floor
is not moving, it acts opposite to the
direction of the rolling ball as it rubs
against it. The rubbing of the surface of the
floor on the ball will somehow slow down its movement until it stops. This shows that friction
is exerted by the floor as the ball moves on its surface.

Another example is when you rub your hands

together, the two hands are touching each
other and are moving in opposite directions.
Friction is exerted by the hands that are
rubbing together.

Gravity is an example of a force that acts on

objects even without touching the object.
Earth’s gravity works on you as it pulls you
toward Earth. It keeps you from floating
away in space. When your feet are off the
ground as you jump, the force of gravity
makes you land on the ground.

Another example of a noncontact kind of

force is magnetic force. It acts on an
object even without contact. It can pull an
object towards it, or push another
magnet away from it.
Force can be defined as simply a push or a pull.
Force acts on two or more interacting objects.
The amount of force an object exerts on another can be less than, equal to or
greater than the force of the other object it interacts with.
Force has a direction.
There are different types of force. Some of these are friction, gravity, and
magnetic force.
o Friction is a type of force that acts on objects that are touching each
other.
o Some forces act on objects even without touching the object such as
gravity and magnetism
