forces.
Contact Force Examples: Non-Contact Force
• Friction Examples:
• Normal Force • Gravitational Force
• Air Resistance • Electrical Force
• Applied Force • Magnetic Force
CONTACT
FORCES
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 exer ting an upward force upon the book in order to
suppor t 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
NON-CONTACT
FORCES
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.
GRAVITY
Mass and distance affect the force of
gravity. The greater the mass and the
closer the object, the stronger its
gravitational pull.
GRAVITY
How does the force of gravity change
as the mass of objects and distance
between them changes?
The force of gravity between
two objects depends on two
factors:
Mass
Distance

SAMPLE PROBLEM
1. How much work is done by a power
lifter that pushes a car with a force of
800 N at a distance of 200 m?
2. How much work is done by the force
of friction if a man pushes a refrigerator
across a floor with a distance of 1.2 m
and a 350 N force of friction that
opposes the motion of the refrigerator?
WORK

SAMPLE PROBLEM
1. On a recent adventure trip, Anita
Beak went rock climbing. Anita was able
to steadily lift her 80.0 kg body 20.0 m
in 100 seconds. Determine Anita’s power
rate during this position of the climb.
