6) Give an example for drag force.
6) What are the different types of
forces, Explain with example.
7) Name 2 contact forces acting on
you while you are kicking a ball.
When you are kicking a ball, two key contact forces acting on you are:
1. Normal Force: This is the force exerted by the ground on your foot in the upward
direction. It counteracts your weight and allows you to maintain balance while preparing
to kick the ball.
2. Frictional Force: This is the force between your foot and the ground. It prevents you
from slipping and provides the necessary grip to push off effectively when you kick the
ball.
8) Define weight and gravity with
the units of measurement

Forces can compress, twist, stretch
or bend an object.

7. Why doest the floor squeeze
when you exert force on it.
8. Define extension.
The amount an object can
stretch is called extension.
[Link] tension and compression in terms of the directions that the forces act in
Tension and compression are two fundamental types of mechanical forces that act in opposite
directions. Here’s a comparison of the two in terms of the directions the forces act in:
Tension
Direction of Force: Tension is a pulling force that acts along the length of an object. It
occurs when forces are applied to stretch or elongate the object.
Example: When you pull on a rope, the tension force pulls outward from the center of
the rope towards both ends. It tries to increase the length of the rope.
Compression
Direction of Force: Compression is a pushing force that acts towards the center of an
object. It occurs when forces are applied to shorten or compress the object.
Example: When you push down on a spring, the compression force pushes inward from
both ends towards the center of the spring, trying to decrease its length.
Summary
Tension: Pulling force, acting outward from the center.
Compression: Pushing force, acting inward towards the center.
These differences in the direction of forces result in different structural behaviors and responses
of materials under tension and compression.
[Link] the launch of a rocket , Earth exerts a force on it. Describe the other force in this interaction
pair
During the launch of a rocket, the interaction between the rocket and the Earth involves an
action-reaction pair as described by Newton's Third Law of Motion.
1. Force Exerted by Earth on the Rocket: When the rocket is launched, Earth exerts a
gravitational force downward on the rocket. This force pulls the rocket towards the Earth.
2. Other Force in the Interaction Pair: The other force in this interaction is the force
exerted by the rocket on the Earth. As the rocket's engines fire and it pushes down on
the ground with a strong thrust (action), the rocket simultaneously exerts an equal and
opposite force upward on the Earth (reaction).
Summary
Action: Earth pulls the rocket downward (gravitational force).
Reaction: The rocket pushes upward on the Earth with an equal force.
This interaction illustrates the principle that forces always occur in pairs, and both forces are
equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

of a tree.
