Force And Pressure

This section explains the concepts of force and pressure, highlighting how actions can cause objects to move, change direction, and alter speed or shape.

Force – A Push Or A Pull

This section introduces force as a push or pull that influences the motion of objects, highlighting different ways force is manifested in everyday scenarios.

Forces Are Due To An Interaction

This section discusses the concept of forces as interactions between two objects and the effects they produce on motion.

Exploring Forces

This section introduces the concept of force, its effects on motion, and the way it interacts through various examples and activities, illustrating the significance of understanding forces in our daily experiences.

A Force Can Change The State Of Motion

In this section, we explore how forces can alter the motion of objects, affecting their speed and direction.

Force Can Change The Shape Of An Object

This section discusses how applying force to an object can lead to changes in its shape and provides examples and activities to illustrate the concept.

Contact Forces

Contact forces are forces that occur when two objects are in physical contact, primarily characterized by muscular force and friction.

Muscular Force

Muscular force is the force exerted by the muscles in our body, enabling us to carry out various physical activities.

Friction

This section focuses on the concept of friction as a contact force that opposes the motion of objects.

Non-Contact Forces

This section introduces non-contact forces such as gravitational, magnetic, and electrostatic forces that act on objects without physical contact.

Magnetic Force

This section introduces the concept of magnetic force as a non-contact force that can either attract or repel objects.

Electrostatic Force

Electrostatic force refers to the attraction or repulsion between charged bodies, which can occur even without contact.

Gravitational Force

Gravitational force is an essential non-contact force that acts on all objects, causing them to experience attraction towards the Earth.

Pressure

The section discusses the concept of pressure, its relationship to force, and how the area over which a force is applied affects the pressure experienced.

Pressure Exerted By Liquids And Gases

This section explores the concept of pressure exerted by liquids and gases and how pressure varies with depth and area.

Atmospheric Pressure

Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air in the atmosphere above a surface.

Keywords

This section introduces the concept of force and pressure, explaining how forces act as pushes or pulls on objects, and the role of contact and non-contact forces.
