FOURTH TERM

Teacher: Carlos Andrés Pinzón Osorio

GENERAL PERFORMANCE
4. To recognise equilibrium conditions and the different existing forces within physical
phenomena.

ACHIEVEMENT INDICATORS
4.1. Identifies the different forces acting on a body.
4.2. Establishes conditions to allow interaction when a system presents equilibrium.
4.3. Presents timely and properly consultations, worksheets, exercises in class, and laboratory
reports.

WEIGHT (W)
Is generated by an
interactions between a
planet with elements near to
it.
FORCE
generated by interactions.

WEIGHT (W)
Is generated by an
interactions between a
planet with elements near to
it. g = 9.8 m/s2
NORMAL FORCE
generated by interactions.
NORMAL FORCE
generated by interactions.

Is defined as the force that

any surface exerts on any
other object.
NORMAL FORCE
generated by interactions.

Is defined as the force that

any surface exerts on any
other object.
NORMAL FORCE
generated by interactions.

Is defined as the force that

any surface exerts on any Always is
perpendicular to the
other object.

IMPORTANT
EXAMPLES
How calculated Normal force

Normal Force = Weight

Weight = m g

Normal Force = m g
 Exercises to Practice
1. An object resting on a table. Mass of the object is 1 kg.
Acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. Determine the normal
force exerted on the object by the table. Represent in a
draw and make the free body diagram.
2. A block of iron with mass 10kg is sitting on an incline
that has an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal. What
is the direction of normal force on the block of iron?
Represent in a draw and make the free body diagram.
