• Think of an action that
shows a push and a pull.
• Act it out with your group.
THE EFFECTS OF FORCE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNPjB9xDTrc
 Force changes the shape and size of
objects.
 Force moves an object that is stationary
or at rest. By this, the position of an
object changes.
 Force speeds up, slows down, or stops a
moving object.
 Force changes the direction of moving
objects.
• Cite five(5) specific example
of the effects of force in
shape, motion, direction,
and speed.
• Write in ½ sheet of paper.
A stationary object remains motionless when
forces acting on it are balanced.

The resultant force is zero if both forces are
equal.

are unbalanced. An object that is moving changes
speed or direction.
FALLING OBJECTS
Materials: a small stone, a flat piece of paper
Procedures:
1. Raise a small stone and a flat piece of
paper at the same height.
2. Predict which object will fall to the ground
first.
3. Release the objects at the same time and
observe. Do this three times.
FALLING OBJECTS
Materials: a small stone, a flat piece of paper
Procedures:
4. Crumple the sheet of paper into a ball
about the size of the small stone.
5. Repeat steps 1-3.
Analysis!
Air resistance is the force air
exerts on a moving object. It
pushes against a moving
object causing it to slow
down.
Air resistance is a type of

friction. It is also known as
drag.
The measure of gravitational

force acting on an object is
called weight.

Have you noticed the patterns found
under your shoes?
What do you think these are for?
FRICTION
History Link:
The force that results when two In the ancient days,
materials rub against each other our ancestors made
fire by rubbing things
like stick and twigs
together. It is
considered to be one
of the major turning
points in our history.
FRICTION
This type of force acts in the
opposite direction of an
applied force
In the absence of friction, an
object moving along a
horizontal surface would
continue to move at
constant speed forever.
 Friction opposes motion or keeps an
object from starting to move.
 The amount of friction is affected by the
kind of surfaces that are in contact.
 Friction produces heat which could cause
wear and tear.
 Friction caused by air (drag) slows down
motion of cars and airplanes.
increased friction can caused machines to
break down and not work as efficiently
Shoes and other materials can wear and tear
Too much friction can cause fires and things to overheat
Abrasions and injuries can happen when you rub against a rough surface
GRAVITATIONAL
FORCE
Gravity is the force that attracts

two objects toward each other.
The amount of gravitational

force between objects are
affected by their masses and the
distance between them.
The greater the mass of
either object, the greater
the gravitational pull.
The greater the distance
between the objects, the smaller
the gravitational pull.
MAGNETIC
FORCE
Magnets exert force on

magnetic materials.
Attraction – the pulling force

Repulsion – a pushing force
This is a Maglev train used in
Shanghai, China. It is currently the
world’s fastest commercially
operated train at 431 kilometers
per hour!
Trivia
Earth acts like a giant

magnet because its core is
made of iron. The outer
core, which is liquid,
generates electric current
that, in turn, generates a
magnetic field.
1. Cite (1) example of the following:
A. Constructive and useful effects of forces
B. Destructive and harmful effects of force
Forces found in nature can be constructive and
useful to man.
Wind or moving air is a force in nature used to
turn windmills to generate electricity.
Moving water from waterfalls and dams also
turn turbines to produce hydroelectric power.
Gravity ensures that objects stay on the ground
and prevent them from floating in the air.
Forces in nature can also be destructive and
harmful.
They usually cause natural disasters resulting in
damage to property and loss of lives.
Examples are earthquake, volcanic eruptions,
tsunamis, hurricanes, and tornadoes.
