Learning Target:

I can determine some

external forces that can
be applied on an
object.
CONTACT FORCE NON- CONTACT
FORCE
- A force that can - A force that results
cause motion of when two object are
change of an not in physical
object by touching contact with each
other, yet exert a
it. push and pull.

 FRICTION FORCE
• is the force exerted by a surface as an object
moves across it or makes an effort to move across
it. There are at least two types of friction force -
sliding and static friction.
• Though it is not always the case, the friction
force often opposes the motion of an object.

•is the support force exerted upon
an object that is in contact with
another stable object.

object by a person or another
object.

 TENSION FORCE
•is the force that is transmitted
through a string, rope, cable or
wire when it is pulled tight by
forces acting from opposite ends.
AIR RESISTANCE FORCE
•is a special type of frictional
force that acts upon objects as
they travel through the air.
 SPRING FORCE
•force exerted by a compressed or
stretched spring upon any object
that is attached to it.
Identify what is being described.

a. Air Resistance force

b. Gravitational force
c. Tensional force
d. Spring force
e. Normal force
f. Non- contact force

___1. Forces with which the Earth, Moon or other massive body attracts an object towards itself.
___2. Force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring upon any object which is attached to it.
___3. Force exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object.
___4. Force which is transmitted through a string or rope when it is pulled tight by forces acting at
each end.
___5. Force which acts upon objects as they travel through the air.
