What’s In

Lesson 1. Friction: How it affects movement of different objects?

Force is the energy it takes to do work. When you push or pull an object it takes
energy to get that object to move. Force is accountable, every time objects start from
moving or stop from moving. All the time we can encounter forces. Forces exert pressure
on you and you use them to exert pressure on objects.
Pushing a heavy box that is lying on the ground can be quite difficult for even a large
frame adult. Yet, if the same box is placed on a push cart rather, a small child may have
little effort in moving the box. How is this possible? Does the push cart somehow make the
box any lighter? Friction is at the base of this issue. Have you ever tried to walk on a
polished floor? Even on floor there is an amount of friction. Without friction walking would
be impossible. Friction will always be part of our daily life.

What is It

A force is a push or pull that starts, stops, or changes the direction of an object. It
is the action exerted by a body on another, which is manifested in its motion. The force
can be frictional that causes the object that moves along a surface to slow down and
stop. It is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces sticking or touching
together.

6
 Friction can be rolling, a frictional force associated with the rotational movement of
a wheel or other circular objects along a surface. Friction can be sliding, which occurs
when two objects are rubbing against each other or sliding against each other. Friction
can be fluid, which is the friction between a solid object as it moves through a liquid or
gas. Thus, friction can be static, which occurs in stationary objects. It is a kind of friction
that prevents an object from moving against a surface.

Friction is helpful, it allows us to grip things and keep things stable . Yet, it can
cause objects to wear and tear. It has desirable and undesirable effects to objects and
people. Several ways can be done to reduce friction such as, application of lubricant to
surfaces, reducing and minimizing contact between surfaces, and applying the principle
of aerodynamic shapes.

What’s In

Lesson 2. Gravity: How it affects movement of different objects?

In the previous lesson, you have learned that friction causes the object that moves
along a surface to slow down and stop. It is a force that opposes motion between two
surfaces sticking or touching together. In this lesson you will learn how gravity affects the
movement of different objects.

Objects held by children, when dropped, fall to the ground. Why do things fall to the
ground? Objects fall because of gravity. Gravitational force pulls objects toward the ground.

When you throw a ball into the air, it comes back to you or to the ground of Earth.
When you jump, you land back on the ground of the Earth. This is made possible because
of gravity. Gravity is a force that attract objects toward one another, especially the force that
makes things fall to the ground. Earth’s gravity is what keeps you on the ground, what
causes objects to fall, and is why the objects fall down rather than up.

 What’s New

Gravity is an invisible force that push an object towards the center of the Earth. The
reason things stay on the Earth’s surface is because of the gravitational pull toward the
Earth’s center. The greater the mass of an object is, the greater is the force of gravity
acting on it. In addition, the weight of the object is due to the force of gravity on its mass.
Another thing that affects how much gravity pulls towards the ground and the
distance between them. The closer the Earth to the sun, the stronger the gravitational
force of the sun towards the Earth. The farther the earth moves away from the sun the
lesser the gravitational force of the sun towards the Earth.

 What is It

About 300 years ago, Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity. This happened when
Newton saw an apple fall out of tree and he realized there was a force that made it occur,
and he called it gravity.

Gravity is a force that attract objects toward one another, especially the force that
makes things fall to the ground. In day to day activities, it describes the force which
causes objects to fall onto the ground. It even keeps the moon in orbit around Earth.
Earth’s and the sun’s gravity keep the moon in orbiting Earth. Newton’s Law discusses
how gravity keeps the Solar System together.
Gravitational force is affected by distance. The more distant the body is from earth,
the less the gravitational attraction. Anything that has mass is affected by gravity . The
greater the mass of an object is, the greater is the force of gravity acting on it or vise
versa. In addition, Earth’s gravity comes from all its mass. All its mass makes a combined
gravitational pull on all the mass in your body. That’s what gives you weight. And if you
were on a planet with less mass than Earth, you would weigh less than you do here.
