Force in
Nature
The Magic of Push and Pull
FORCE
Force is a push or a pull exerted by one
object on another object; one effect of
which is a change in the object’s speed,
direction of motion, or both speed and
direction.
FORCE SI UNIT
The SI unit of force is Newton (N)
1N = 1kg.m/s²
1N = 10⁵ dynes

The Magic of Push and Pull
Classification of Force
FUNDAMENTAL FORCE
NONFUNDAMENTAL FORCE
FUNDAMENTAL FORCE
Fundamental forces are
the basic forces of nature
that result from the
simplest interactions
between at least two
objects
4 FUNDAMENTAL FORCES
strong nuclear force
electromagnetic force
weak nuclear force
gravitational force
Examples of Fundamental Forces
Gravity Radio Waves Magnetic
NONFUNDAMENTAL FORCE
Nonfundamental forces,
also known as derived
forces, arise from the
interactions brought
about by the four
fundamental forces.
EXAMPLE OF NONFUNDAMENTAL FORCE
PUSH PULL
To move something To move something
away from you toward you
CONTACT FORCE
result from direct physical contact between two
objects.
Pull Push Tension
CONTACT FORCE
action- at-a-distance forces.
Gravity Radio Waves Magnetic
WEIGHT
WEIGHT
the force that MASS
keeps an object the quantity of
attracted toward matter an object
the center of contains.
Earth.
THE FORMULA FOR WEIGHT IS
w= mg
W = weight
m = mass
g = gravity (9.8m/s²)
EXAMPLE
Lynne has a mass of 100 kg on Earth. (a)
What is her weight on Earth? (b) What is
her weight the surface of the moon,
where the acceleration due to gravity is
1.62m / s²
GIVEN
m = 100 kg; g Earth = 9.8m / s²; g moon =
1.62m/s²
SOLUTION
a. w Earth = mg Earth = (100kg)(9.8m / s²) = 980N
b. On the moon, her mass is still 100 kg. Thus,
W moon = mg moon = (100kg)(1.62m / (s²) = 162N
Measuring
Forces
A spring balance employs a
spring inside a casing with a
graduated scale printed on
it. Attached to the spring is a
pointer indicating the
reading on the graduated
scale.
Stepping on it or
placing the object to be
weighed on it
compresses the spring
inside proportionately
to the weight.
Activity
Assume you have a mass of 100 kg on earth.
On the moon, where the gravitation is 1/6 the
gravitation of the earth, what are your mass
and weight?
