Forces and Their Effects
You cannot see a
force but you can see
what it does. You can
also feel the effect of
a force on your body
A force is
a push or a pull
What can a force do?
1. A force can
make an object move.
2. A force can make
a moving object stop.
3. A force can
change the speed
of a moving object.
A force can accelerate an object. The larger the force on

the object, the greater the acceleration if the mass stays
constant. The larger the mass of the object, the smaller
the acceleration if the force stays constant.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion:

Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s2)
4. A force can
change the
direction
of a moving
object.
5. A force can
change the
shape
of an object.
How to measure a
force?
A force can be measured with
a Newton spring balance.
The SI unit for measuring force is
the Newton (symbol N).
•Tension
•Friction
•Normal force
•Electrical force
•Magnetic force
•Gravitational force
•Force acting on a stretched
spring, rope, or cable
There are two main types of forces:
contact forces
and
non-contact forces.
A contact force
occurs when the object or material
exerting the force touches the
object or material on which the
force acts.
A non-contact force
occurs when the objects or
materials do not touch each other.
• Impact forceContact Forces
When a moving object collides with a
stationary object an impact force is
exerted by one object on the other.
• Strain force
When some materials are squashed,
stretched, twisted or bent they exert a
force which act in the opposite direction to
the force acting on them.
These materials are called elastic
materials and the force they exert when
they are deformed is called a strain
force.
Impact force
When a moving object collides with

a stationary object an impact force
is exerted by one object on the other.
Strain force
When some materials are squashed, stretched,
twisted or bent they exert a force which act in
the opposite direction to the force acting on
them. These materials are called elastic
materials and the force they exert when they
are deformed is called a strain force. When the
force applied to the material is removed the
strain force exerted by the material restore the
deformed material to its original shape.
Tension
• Tension isa strain force that is exerted by a stretched
spring, rope or string. At each end
• the tension force acts in the opposite

direction to the pulling force.
Non-contact Forces
They all exert their force without having to
touch the object
• Magnetic forces
• Electrostatic forces
• Gravitational forces
•Force that acts opposite the
direction of motion
•Force that acts perpendicular to the
common surface contact
•Force produced between two
charges
•Force produced between two
electrically charged moving
particles. Found between two
magnets
Magnetic Force
A magnet has a north-seeking

pole and a south-seeking
pole, known as north pole
and south pole. If you pick up
two magnets and bring them
together, you will feel a force
either pushing or pulling each
other. The same poles
attract each other
while different poles
repel each other.

Train
Electrostatic Force
If certain electrical insulator materials
are rubbed an electrostatic charges
(positive
charge and negative charge) develop on
them.
Similar charges repel each other
while opposite charges attract
each other.
•Force of attraction that keeps
bodies in the universe together
Gravitational Force
The gravitational force between the Sun and all
the planets in the Solar System holds the
planets in their orbits
The gravitational force between an object on the

Earth and the Earth itself pulls the object
down towards the centre of the Earth and is
called the weight of the object.
Give what kind of
force acts on the
following
•Tension
•Friction
•Normal force
•Electrical force
•Magnetic force
•Gravitational force

Robert Hooke
The extension of a spring is proportional to the mass

attached to it.
F = kx
F = applied force (N), x = extension (m),
k = force constant for object under test (N/m)
However, the addition of mass to a spring beyond a limit,

called the elastic limit, it no longer extends
proportionally to the mass anymore. It is permanently
deformed.
The spring beyond its elastic limit was in a state known as

plastic deformation.
A Spring Balance
This instrument uses Robert
Hooke’s discovery. The scale
on the balance is calibrated in
newton so it is sometimes 5N
called a Newton Spring
Balance or a
newtonmeter.
5N
Gravitational Force
• F is the force between the
masses,
•G is the gravitational
constant (which is
approximately equal to
6.674×10−11 N m2 kg−2)
• m1 is the first mass,

• m2 is the second mass, and
• r is the distance between
the masses.
The force that exists between any two masses

because of their mass is called the
gravitational force.
