What is force?

A force is a push or a pull that exerted on an object.

A boy is pushing the door

A horse is pushing
the caravan
 Pulling a rope

Pulling up the lid of a

tin can

Pulling up a nail using a hammer

B) Effect of Force

The direction
of an object

The shape Force can The size

of an object change: of an object

The speed
of an object
Experiment 1:
A)Aim : to show that force can change the shape
of an object

Plasticine
Flattened

Ruler
Bending

Spring Lengthen
Procedure:
1.A sphere shapes lump of plasticine was placed on
a table and the plasticine was pressed from the top
2. A coil of spring was stretched.
3. One end of a plastic ruler was held on the table
and the free end was bend.
4. All the observation were recorded in table 7.1/
Observation:
Observation

The plasticine
becomes flatten
The spring
lengthern
The ruler
curves/bending

Discussion:
The shape of the objects change
Conclusion:
A force can change the shape of an object
B) To show that force can change the speed
of a moving object

Procedure:
1.The ping pong ball was placed on the table so
that it remained stationary. The ping pong ball
was blown at through a drinking straw
2. The observation was recorded
3. The ping pong ball was pushed so it rolled
slowly on the table. Through a drinking straw,
the ping pong ball was blown in the same direction
Discussion:
1. the ping pong ball moves
2. The moving ping pong ball moves faster

Conclusion:
Force can change the position and speed of an object
C) Force can change the direction of a moving object

Procedure:
1.A ping pong ball was rilled slowly on a table.]
2.The ping pong ball was blown at right angle to
the direction of its movement
3. The observation was recorded
Discussion:
The moving ping pong ball changes direction

Conclusion:
Force can change the direction of a moving object
