Forces
☢ In physics now we start with Force
In simple language, Force is push or pull that may change the object's shape.
☢ what can force do
• Change an object's speed
Force can accelerate an object by increasing its speed, or decelerate it by decreasing its
speed.
• Change an object's direction
Applying force to an object at an angle to its direction of motion changes the object's
motion.
• Change an object's shape
Force can change the shape of an object.
• Slow or stop an object
Air resistance is a force that slows or stops an object from falling due to gravity.
• Produce tension
Tension force is produced by a rope, cable, or string, and pulls a suspended mass
attached to it.
• Allow for walking, writing, and holding things
Friction is an electromagnetic force that allows us to walk, write, hold things, and lift
objects.
