Forces and its types

Forces can be contact or non-contact. Contact forces require direct interaction and include muscular, frictional, and mechanical forces. Non-contact forces act through space without direct contact and include magnetic, gravitational, and electrostatic forces. A force is defined as a push or pull acting on an object due to its interaction with another object that can change its motion or shape. Common examples of forces in everyday life include how boats move through water, how a football is thrown, and how a bullock cart is pulled.

Think About It!!! • How does a boat move forward??? • How does the football go forward??? • How does a bullock cart go forward???
What happens when…… • A spring is pulled…… • A blacksmith hammers hot iron……
??HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?? ALL THIS HAPPENS DUE TO FORCE
WHAT IS FORCE? • FACTS: • No object changes its position or shape on its own. • Force is required to move or change the shape of an object. • Force is used to change the direction or shape of an object in motion, or to stop it. • DEFINITION OF FORCE: A force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object.
TYPES OF FORCE FORCE CONTACT Muscular Frictional Mechanical NON- CONTACT Magnetic Gravitational Electrostatic
Contact Forces and its Types • CONTACT FORCE: Forces that act on a body either directly or through a medium are called contact forces. • 1. Muscular Force: The force applied with the help of muscles is called muscular force.
Contact Force and its Types • 2. Mechanical Force: The force applied by means of a machine is called mechanical force.
Contact Force and its Types • 3. Frictional Force: The frictional force is a type of contact force, which acts between two surfaces in contact. These surfaces tend to oppose the motion of one surface over the other; this is called as Frictional Force.
Non-Contact Forces • NON-CONTACT FORCE: Forces that act through spaces without making direct contact with the body are called Non-Contact Forces. • 1. Magnetic Force: The force exerted by a magnet is called magnetic force.
Non-Contact Forces • 2. Gravitational Force: The force applied by the earth to pull objects towards itself is called gravitational force.
Non-Contact Forces • Electrostatic Force: Static electricity is produced on materials like rubber, plastic and ebonite due to friction. The force exerted by such electrically charged materials is called electrostatic force. Hair is attracted by a Balloon
Combined Forces • While an action is taking place, various types of forces act on the object in question. • These forces work on the object at the same time.
