The force generated by two surfaces that contact and slide against each other are called frictional force. The
angle and position of the object affect the volume of frictional force. Fluid friction is the friction that takes
place between gases and fluids. Both static and kinetic friction is proportional to the normal force exerted
between the solid bodies. When two fabrics slide over each other generates static friction. A basketball
rolling on the court comes to rest after some time. Opening and sliding door/window is an example of sliding
friction. A swimmer experiences an opposing force while swimming known as fluid friction force. .1. Dry

Every entity or object in this universe employs a gravitational force or pulls on every other object. Depending on
the masses of the objects, the strength of this pull is defined. The force that keeps the moon around the earth and the
planets in their respective orbit around the sun is gravity.
So, gravity is a force that attracts an object towards the center of the earth or any other physical body having
mass. In 1687, gravity was first discovered by Sir Isaac Newton. He noticed an apple falling while sitting under an apple
tree. This made him determine why the apple is falling instead of going up or left or right. And thus, it was observed to
him that an unknown force was at play; Newton called it gravity and his theory is titled Newton’s law of Universal
Gravitation. The force of gravity, defined by Sir Isaac Newton, says:
“In the universe, every particle of matter attracts every other particle with a force that is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between them directly proportional to the product of the masses of their masses
particles.”
Mathematically, it can be written as:

F=Gm1m2/r2

2. Electrical energy the energy of moving electrons flow through wires to create an electric
current
examples: electric circuit, lightning, transmission lines, appliances that have been turned on
3. Chemical energy the energy that is stored in the bonds between the atoms that make up
compounds
examples: batteries, food, fuel, matchsticks, fireworks
4. Heat energy refers to the energy in transit, transferred from one body to another

Energy Transformation
Law of Conservation of Energy states that: energy cannot be created or destroyed
energy may be transformed from one form to another, the total amount of energy never changes
Examples of energy transformation
Light energy from the sun is transformed into chemical energy stored in plants. The chemical energy
of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is transformed into light and heat to cook food. When a flashlight
is turned on, the chemical energy from the battery is transformed into electrical energy through the
circuit, and then transformed into light energy and heat. With electricity, fossil fuels (chemical
energy) are burned (heat energy) to generate steam that powers turbines (mechanical energy) that
drive generators to produce electrical energy. Electricity is then distributed to homes where it is
further transformed to sound energy (TV, computers), heat (flat iron), mechanical energy (electric
fans), etc.
Sources of energy
Renewable
Solar ,wind, water , tidal ,geothermal, biomass
Non-renewable
fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, natural gas, oil)
nuclear energy
Heat is a common byproduct of energy transformations.

Simple machine
a device with few or no moving parts that is used to perform work
it can (1) multiply the force and speed and (2) change the direction of the force applied
helps people do their work faster and more easily
Six basic simple machines:
inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axle, pulley, screw, lever
Inclined plane
a flat surface raised at an angle sloping surface connects a lower level to a higher level used to lift or raise a heavy object
by moving it up a slope examples: ramp, stairs, slide, switchback roads
Wedge
two inclined planes positioned back to back, giving it a thick edge and a thin edge used for cutting or splitting things apart
– force is applied to the thick edge and the sloping sides of the wedge apply force to the object, cutting it or splitting it
apart examples: axe, knife, chisel, the teeth of a saw
Wheel and axle
a circular frame (the wheel) that revolves on a shaft or rod (the axle) used to raise weights and carry/transport loads over a
long distance examples: car/bike wheels, door knob, steering wheel, Ferris wheel, electric fan
Pulley
a wheel with a rope, cord, cable, chain, or belt on its rim – pulling on the rope turns the wheel used to lift or lower objects
(called the load) more easily examples: flag pole, ropes on a sailboat, movable clothesline, well, elevator
 Screw
a long inclined plane wrapped around a shaft (central cylinder) used to fasten/hold things together
examples: screw, jar lid, bolt, bottom end of a bulb, bottle cap, faucet
Lever
a long beam or bar that rests on a support or fixed point called a fulcrum used to lift, remove, or pull out objects easily three
components: fulcrum – supporting point of the lever load – the weight being moved or lifted effort – the force used to cause
movement three classes of lever based on the position of the effort, load, and fulcrum first class lever the fulcrum is between
the load and the effort
examples: seesaw, scissors, crowbar, pliers, hammer claws (for pulling out a nail)
second class lever the load is between the fulcrum and the effort examples: wheelbarrow, wagon, can/bottle opener,
nutcracker
third class lever
the effort is between the fulcrum and the load
examples: tongs, broom, stapler*, fishing rod, tweezers, hockey stick, baseball bat, using your arm to lift
something
