TTYPES OF FORCES FORCE is a push or pull resulting from the interaction between two objects.

. - A vector quantity; it has magnitude and direction. - Standard unit in MKS System is Newton (N) is the force needed to cause a 1-kg object to accelerate 1 m/s2. - 1 N = 1kgm/s2, In CGS System, the standard unit of force is dyne. - 1 dyne = a gcm/s2, 1 N = 102 dynes Two Types of Force Contact Forces the forces that come with the interactions of objects that involve contact. Normal Force (FN) = contact force that arises from the mere contact between two objects, is always perpendicular to the surfaces in contact. Tension (T) = contact force transmitted to an object subjected to two pulling forces at two ends. Frictional Force/Friction (Ff) = contact force present whenever two objects slide against each other or when they resist a tendency to slide against each other, a retarding force; its effect oppose motion. Noncontact Forces (Field Forces) are those forces that can act between two objects over a distance or between objects that are not in physical contact. Gravitational Force/Gravity (Fg) = the force with which the Earth pulls objects toward the ground and is responsible for making unsupported objects fall. Weight (W) = the gravitational force/pull exerted by the Earth on an object. Magnetic Forces = exists between permanent magnets as well as electrically charged particles. Electrostatic Forces = exists between electrically charged objects or particles that are at rest. Type of Force According to Point of Application (the exact where the force is applied on a body) Concurrent Forces forces acting simultaneously on the same point on an object, may start, prevent or maintain linear motion. Parallel Forces (Non-concurrent Forces) when the force acting on the same body are parallel to each other and the object is free to move, the object returns. Net Force is a physical quantity that is capable of changing an objects state of motion. a. causes an object at rest to start moving b. causes a moving object to stop c. causes a change in direction of a moving object. Balanced Forces are forces that are equal in magnitude but act in opposite directions Prefix yotta zetta exa peta tera Symbol Y Z E P T Multiple 1024 1021 1018 1015 1012 Prefix deci centi milli micro nano Symbol d c m n Multiple 10-1 10-2 10-3 10-6 10-9

Motion it is a change in position with respect to a given point of reference. Distance is the length of the path covered by the object. Displacement is the objects change in position with respect to a reference point, characterized by its magnitude (shortest distance between initial and final position) and the direction of travel. Speed is a measure of how fats an object travels. Instantaneous Speed speed at an instant or at a point in an objects path of motion. Velocity speed of an object associated with direction. Average Velocity defined as the displacement divided by the elapsed time. Instantaneous Velocity refers to how fats an object is moving at a given instant and in what direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
