HISTORY OF FORCE..

ARISTOTLE - Natural world has 4

elements- air, water, earth and fire.
Objects move because of their innate
tendency to find their natural place.
JOHANNAS PHILOPONUS (550 AD) -
If I exert an impetus, an object
moves. Impetus keeps a body
moving.

JEAN BURIDEN (355 AD) When
impetus diminishes, motion also
diminishes. When impetus is
removed, object stops moving.
GALILEO GALILEI showed that the
bodies were accelerated by gravity to
an extent which was independent of
their mass and argued that objects
retain their velocity unless acted on by
a force, for example friction.
AND SIR ISAAC NEWTON CAME.
If I have been
able to see a little
father than other
men, it is because
I have stood on
the shoulders of
giants
and the rest is history
is a push or a pull

quantitative description of
the interaction between to
bodies
Force does not always cause motion.

It does not mean that forces acting on
an object will always cause it to move.

Forces can produce changes in motion.
Net force cause an object at rest to start
moving.

Net force causes a moving object to stop.
Force causes an object to change its
direction.

Sum of the forces acting on a
body.



a contact force

Acts on surfaces of two bodies

Force that opposes the motion of the
body

The component parallel to the surface.

Static friction frictional force enough to prevent
relative motion between surfaces in contact.
Sliding or kinetic friction- occurs when there is
relative motion at the interface of the surfaces in
contact
Rolling friction- takes place when one surface
rotates as it moves over another surface but does
not slide or slip.

Depends on the following:

Kind of surface

mass of the object

velocity of the object

area of contact

f = N
f = friction
= coefficient of friction
N = normal force

-Use rough surface
-Make use of heavy materials
-increase the velocity
-increase the area of contact

- oiling or lubricating
-Use of bearings
-Streamlining
-Magnetic levitation
