A force
attraction or repulsion is applied to an object
Power type
1) Gravity - the force directed to the center
of the earth causes all objects tossed to fall
back to the ground.
2) Friction - the force that resists movement
and acts between two surfaces that are in
contact with each other
3) Normal - the force produced when an
object comes in contact with a surface
4) Float - the thrust that acts on an object
floating in a fluid
5) Weight - an object is defined as the force
of gravity acting on it
6) Elastic - exists when a material is stretched
or compressed
Force Characteristics
a vector quantity that has magnitude and
direction
Power Measurement
power is measured with a spring balance
(newton, N)
The effect of the force
can change the shape, size and motion of the
body.
1) A stationary object moves
2) Stop a moving object
3) Change the speed of a moving object
4) Change the direction of movement of the
object
5) Change the shape and size of objects
Buoyancy
i) an object will float if the buoyancy acting
on it is sufficient to support its weight.
ii) an object will sink if the buoyancy acting
on it is not enough to support its weight.
Buoyancy = Actual weight - apparent weight
Density and Float Effect
i) each object has a different density.
ii) an object that is less dense than a liquid,
causing the object to float
iii) an object that is denser than a liquid,
causing the object to sink

Lever - a bar that rotates at a fixed point. 3) Examples of class 3 lever objects - ice
The lever consists of force, load and fulcrum. chopsticks, rods
Force - repulsion and attraction applied to the
crossbar
Load - the object to be moved
Fulcrum - A fixed point of support

Lever class
1) Examples of class 1 lever objects - pliers,
can openers, scissors
Moment of Force
the effect of rotation produced by a force.
Pressure
i) the force exerted on a surface depends on
the surface area to which the force is applied
ii) Small surfaces produce large pressures,
large surfaces produce small pressures
iii) Pressure = Force (N) / Surface area
2) Examples of class 2 lever objects - hard
breakers, wheelbarrows Gas Pressure
the air molecules always move freely and
collide on the wall of the container, the
frequency of collisions between the air
molecules on the wall of the container will
produce a pushing force on the wall of the
container.

 Air pressure factor
volume & temperature.

Air pressure application

1) suction pump
2) magdeburg hemisphere
3) beverage dispenser
4) siphon
5) syringe
6) vacuum cleaner

Altitude with atmospheric pressure

i) Low pressure - less air molecules put pressure
ii) High pressure - more air molecules put pressure.
