4. What Is a Force?
When one object pushes or pulls another object, the first object exerts a force on the second.

SI units called newton after Sir Isaac Newton.

6. What are the Main Types of Forces
Contact Forces (Friction)
Forces at a Distance

7. Contact Forces
Applied Forces
Normal Forces
Friction
Objects Touch

8. Page 330

9. Applied Forces
A force that is put on an object by another object. Push--Pull

10. Normal Force
The force that acts between objects when they are in contact with each other.

11. Friction
The force that two surfaces exert on each other when they rub against each other.

12. What If There Was No Friction?

14. Forces at a Distance Electrical Forces Magnetic Forces
Gravitational Forces
Objects Don’t Touch

15. Electrical Forces
The force between two charged objects

17. Magnetic Force
The attraction or repulsion between two magnetic poles

19. Gravitational Force The force that pulls objects toward each other.
Sorry I was attracted to you!
The law of universal gravitation states that the force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe that have mass!

20. Two Factors Affect Gravity
Mass: the more mass the greater the gravitational force.
Distance: the greater the distance the less gravitational force.

25. Try it! * An empty soda can * Blown-up balloon * A head of hair
1. Place the can on its side on a flat smooth surface like a table or a smooth floor.  2. Rub the blown up balloon back and forth through your hair really fast. 3. Now the fun part - Hold the balloon close to the can without actually touching the can. The can will start to roll towards the balloon without you even touching it!
Try This Too: While you've got the balloon out, tear up part of a tissue into tiny pieces about 1/4 inch (.5 cm) big. Rub the balloon in your hair again and bring it close to the tissue pieces. They will be attracted to the balloon and then jump away.
