Contact vs. Noncontact FORCES

 Distinguish between contact and noncontact forces.  Explore the Law of Gravity by recognizing that every object exerts a gravitational force. OBJECTIVES ESSENTIAL QUESTION  What forces may hinder the motion of a soccer ball rolling across a field?

Contact Force  A force that can cause or change motion of an object by touching it. Motors and gears operate through contact forces. Non-Contact Force  Force that results when the two objects are not in physical contact with each other, yet are able to exert a push or pull. FORCE: A PUSH OR PULL Contact Force Examples: Friction Normal Force Air Resistance Applied Force Non-Contact Force Examples: Gravitational Force Electrical Force Magnetic Force

 Applied Force: A force typical push or pull, pushing a door open, pulling a rope.  Friction: Happens when two objects rub against each other. Friction opposes motion.  Normal Force: The normal force is the support force exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object. For example, if a book is resting upon a surface, then the surface is exerting an upward force upon the book in order to support the weight of the book.  Air Resistance: The air resistance is a type of frictional force that acts upon objects as they travel through the air. CONTACT FORCES

Normal Force= 10N

 Magnetic Force: A kind of non contact force, materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt and other magnets just need to be near the magnet to be attracted or repelled.  Electric Force: Noncontact force of electrical charges.  Gravitational Force: The force of attraction between any two objects in the universe. All objects have gravitational force. The mass of an object and its distance determines the strength of its gravitational force. NON-CONTACT FORCES

GRAVITY Mass and distance affect the force of gravity. The greater the mass and the closer the object, the stronger its gravitational pull.

GRAVITY The force of gravity between two objects depends on two factors: Mass Distance *Longer arrows represent a greater force of gravity. How does the force of gravity change as the mass of objects and distance between them changes?

 The amount of matter in an object.  Unit: Grams  Does not depend of gravity.  Measured with a triple beam or digital balance.  Measure of the Earth’s gravitational pull (a force).  measured in lbs. or N  Changes depending on the gravitational force.  Measured using a spring scale.
