 Lesson

1 The Major Types of Forces

Force is simply defined as a push or a pull on objects. All

objects around you whether stationary (not moving) or moving are
acted upon by a force. Forces are always in pairs. In a pair of
forces, one counteracts the other. If we are going to measure the
force, the unit for it is called the Newton and it has the symbol N.

What’s In
Read and analyze the given statements and choose the letter
of the correct answer for each item. Write your answers on a
separate sheet of paper.
1. The following statements show the effects of natural forces
disrupt the ecological balance EXCEPT:
A. The stronger force from the wind and water creates a storm
surge.
B. The wind is a powerful erosive force that is involved in
weathering and erosion.
C. It has become apparent that the force of gravity varies from
place to place on Earth's surface.
D. The radiation from the sun has become more intense in
recent decades and is making the planet warmer.

2. Which among the scenarios shows how movement are

beneficial to a specific ecosystem?
A. Food and shelter become scarce in a specific ecosystem.
B. Animals that hibernate use their stored food much more
slowly.
C. Gender imbalances are caused by migration as it is typically
men who seek to find employment elsewhere.
D. Migratory animals become essential components of the
ecosystems by acting as pollinators and seed distributors.

3. In an island without humans and animals living on it, what
abiotic factor may act upon the coconut tree to disperse
effectively and regrow.
A. The wind has blown on a matured coconut; it will be floated
away and dispersed by the wind energy.
B. The matured coconut will be pulled down to the ground by
the tension act upon it and it will be planted again.
C. The matured coconut will eventually fall on the ground; roll
to the lower ground; and regrow due to gravitational pull.
D. The matured coconut tree will eventually die due to the light
energy, and its remains will be part of the soil’s nutrient.

4. Based on the study of Emily R. Morey-Holton's “The Impact of

Gravity on Life”, it is stated that the conclusion from this study
suggests that gravity is necessary for life as we know it, and that
“gravity shapes life”. What may be inferred from this conclusion?
A. Humans need to love their planet because they are the product
of their physical environment.
B. Gravity cannot determine the location and size of internal
organs of different species here on Earth.
C. Humans will never understand the influence of gravity on the
evolution of species after prolonged exposure to different
gravity levels.
D. There are changes in orientation of a species concerning the
direction and magnitude of a gravitational force that may play
a role in the evolution of certain species on Earth.

5. How is the applied force demonstrated in predation interactions

among living things?
A. Most predators are bigger than their prey and applied stronger
force to consume their prey.
B. Most predators are weaker than their prey, so they use
camouflage for survival.
C. Most predators are smaller than their prey, so they use
mimicry to outwit and trick them.
D. Most predators are bigger than their prey, but they are
independent species and are able to produce their food.

The Greatest Force

by Myra P. Gabinay
One morning, my teacher has taught us
about applied force and how it worked.
I remembered my father pushing a cart to
survive, as long as he could provide.
One weekend, we were saving a trapped kitty,
I explained to my father about gravity.
“A strong gravitational force was pulling my body.”
Then he answered, “My son, do not worry,
gravity could not hinder us to help the needy.”
One windy afternoon, my father and I were
flying a kite with my cousin.
I told him, “It was tension, a force that held
the kite against the wind.”
His eyes glisten with delight, and turned
toward me, “I was proud of you my son, for
learning a lot and beyond.”
One Sunday in the church, we kneeled in prayer
with my mother,
I murmured in my father’s ear, “It was friction,
a force that held two surfaces in contact that
held mother’s palm in prayer.”

4
xii
With a soft voice, he replied, “It was love to our creator,
the greatest force beyond measure that held us all together
the force that even time could not defer.”

What is It
Remember that if the forces in pair are equal in strength the
object on which they act does not move but if the forces are not
equal in strength, the movement will occur or happen.
Two Major Types of Force
In general, we have two major
types of force. A contact force is a
force directly applied to an object
while a non-contact force is a force
that does not directly act on an
object (Boniol, 2017).
The following are the different
forms of contact forces:
1. Tension or force that acts on a thin string or
material. For example, the force on the string that
holds the bag in the picture is tension (Boniol,
2017).
2. Friction is a force that holds two surfaces
that are in contact (Boac, 2015). The constant
application of force to wood surfaces creates heat
and with the presence of oxygen and fuel (coming
from the organic matter of the woods) it can create
fire.
3. Force on spring or elastic material. Force on elastic materials
such as spring and rubber is a contact force. When
you stretch a rubber band, an elastic force exists to
counteract the force you applied to it (Boniol, 2017).

5
xiii
4. Applied Force. The applied force is a push or
pull that an object makes to the other objects.
There are two types of non-contact forces.
1. The Gravitational Force. Gravitational force is
the force exerted by the earth on different objects.
Gravity always pulls objects downward. When you
release an object you are holding, it will always
move downward because of the pull of gravity.
2. Magnetic Force. The force exerted by the
magnet. Magnet exerts a force on particular metals
without touching or direct contact between them
(Boniol, 2017).

object.

7. It is the force that does not directly act on an object.

-
8. It is the force exerted by the magnet.

9. It is the unit of force.

10. It is simply defined as a push or pull on objects.

Activity 2: Write TRUE if the statement is correct or FALSE if

it is not. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

1. Magnetic force is the force exerted by the earth on different

objects.

2. Forces that can act on an object include pushing, pulling,

friction, magnetic force, and gravitational force.

3. Tension acts across a distance. It is an invisible force that does

not require contact with the object it is acting on.

4. Friction is a force that holds two surfaces that are in contact.

5. Like gravity, non-contact force acts across a distance without

having to touch the object.

6. When you release an object you are holding, it will always move
downward because of the pull of friction.

7. A force cannot be seen but its effect can be seen or felt.

8. Forces are always in pairs.

9. If the forces in pair are equal in strength, the object on which
they act does not move.

10. The applied force is a push or pull that an object makes to the
other objects.

Have you tried playing tug of war? Playing tug of war is a
game which can be demonstrated easily for you to understand how
force is working. The objective of the game is for each person to
pull the rope of the opposite person to his or her side. The person
who pulls the rope on his/her side wins the game. This kind of
activity can make a vivid illustration to explain how a force works.

20
 What’s New
Force is just a fancy word for pushing or pulling. A force
cannot be seen but its effect can be seen or felt. If you push on
something or pull on it, then you are applying a force to it. Force
makes things move or, more accurately, makes things change their
motion.
How the Balanced and Unbalanced
Forces Work
Balanced forces are equal in size and
opposite in direction. When forces are balanced,
there is no change in motion.

So, what do you need to do to move something? If something

starts to move, it must be because unbalanced
forces are acting on it. To have unbalanced forces
means that the force applied in one direction is
greater than the force applied in the opposite
direction (PBIS, undated).

What is It

Effects of Force on the Size and Shape of Objects

Force can affect the size of an object once it is
applied. A force can squeeze the object, thus reducing
its size like what happened to the empanada bread,
Styrofoam cup, and dishwashing foam, if you try to
press them or squeeze them you are applying a force.
Moreover, force if applied with brittle material can cause
breakage and even turn the material into powder.
This can be observed when you applied force on the
cracker and eggshell (Boniol, 2017).

21
13
Effects of Force on the Movement of Objects.
Generally, the force causes stationary
objects to move and moving objects to stop
or change in direction, depending on the
strength of the force (Boniol, 2017). Thus,
motion is produced by force and it is defined
as a change in the position of an object
when force is applied.
The tendency of an object not to move
unless a force acts on it is called inertia. Inertia is a property of
all things which makes them resistant to change in motion. It is
your inertia that makes you move backward as the bus you are
riding in suddenly starts moving. This is called inertia at rest.
While the inertia in motion is the tendency of an object not to
stop unless a force act on it (Mercado & Dela Paz, 2016).
In general, the mass of an object affects its inertia. The more
mass an object has, the more inertia it has.

7. Is balanced force considered to be in a state of equilibrium?
A. Not sure, it depends on the amount of combined force.
B. Definitely not, because a balanced force keeps an object
moving.
C. No, because balanced forces cannot change the motion or
direction of an object.
D. Yes, combined forces that are balanced are always equal to
zero which means the force is in equilibrium state.

8. What force must be acted upon an object in order for it to

produce motion?
A. balanced C. non- contact
B. friction D. unbalanced

9. Why is it that when we are standing, we are not moving?

A. The Earth is pressing on us with the greater force.
B. The humankind exerts greater force than Earth is exerted.
C. The Earth is pressing on us with the same force that we are
exerting on it.
D. The Earth has a strong magnetic field and humankind
wears certain metals attracted to it.

10. When a football is kicked, its shape changes for a fraction of

a second. This is because:
A. Force changes the shape of an object.
B. Motion changes the shape of an object.
C. Momentum changes the shape of an object.
D. Force does not change the shape of an object.
