Presentation on theme: "Force: a push or a pull in a particular direction"— Presentation transcript:

1 Force: a push or a pull in a particular direction

2 Forces: -have a size (magnitude) - act in a particular direction -cause motion -balanced when all forces acting on an object are equal -measured in Newtons

3 Vectors Arrows that show the size and direction of a force 1/3/2019

4 -What is happening in the picture?
-The forces shown above are: pushing or pulling? -These forces are: working together/opposite forces? -The forces are: balanced/unbalanced? -Is there motion or not?

5 -The forces shown above are: pushing or pulling
-The forces shown above are: pushing or pulling? -These forces are: working together/opposite forces? -The forces are: balanced/unbalanced? -The stronger force is pulling to the right/left? -The weaker force is to the right/left? - Motion is to the right/left?

6 Different types of force:
friction gravity elastic force contact force centripetal force muscular force 1/3/2019

7 Different Types of Forces
A force that resists the motion between two surfaces pressed together The force of attraction between 2 masses- the strength depends on the masses Friction Gravity 1/3/2019

8 Different types of force:
Elastic force Contact force Associated with rubber bands, springs, and other materials that stretch easily when acted on by a force. When one object pushes or pulls another object by touching it. The first object is applying contact force to the second object 1/3/2019

9 Different types of force:
Centripetal force Muscular force Any force that keeps an object moving in a circle Any force that uses muscles to push/pull an object 1/3/2019

10 WHAT TYPE OF FORCES ARE INVOLVED?
Hula Hoop Arm Wrestling Bouncing on a trampoline A dog sleeping on your lap 1/3/2019
