FORCE & MOTION

IN THIS CHAPTER WE WILL LEARN

THE TOPICS-
1. Force – Its effects.
2. Types of force- Pulling & Pushing,
Centripetal & Centrifugal, Magnetic,
Gravitational, Frictional, Electrostatic
Force.
 FORCE
Force is an external agency that changes or tends to change
the state of a body from rest to motion or from motion to
rest.
The SI unit of force is Newton(N)
We use force to do different types of work. Different types of
force are used for different purpose.
 EFFECTS OF FORCE
The main effects of force are as follows:
1. Force changes the state of a body from
motion to rest or from rest to motion.
2. Force changes the direction of the
motion of a body.
3. Force changes the shape & size of a body.
 TYPES OF FORCE
Force is of various types. Some of them are as follows:
Pulling & Pushing Force
Centripetal & Centrifugal Force
Magnetic Force
Gravitational Force
Frictional Force
Electrostatic Force.
 Pulling & Pushing Force
The force that push or tends to push a body is called pushing
force.
The force that pull or tends to pull a body is called pulling
force.
 Centripetal & Centrifugal Force
The force which pushes bodies away
from the centre is centrifugal force
The force which pulls bodies towards the
centre is centripetal force
Centripetal & Centrifugal Force
 Magnetic Force
Magnetic Force is a force that attracts certain metal
objects (like iron and iron filings) towards
a magnet.
 Gravitational Force
The force between any two objects in the universe
is called gravitational force.
 Frictional Force
The force that always acts to resist the motion of
one body sliding on another is called frictional
force.
 Electrostatic Force
The electrostatic force is an attractive and
repulsive force between particles are caused due to their
electric charges.
