Study Notes

  • Force is a physical phenomenon that causes an object to move or change direction.
  • Newtons is the unit of measurement for force, named after English scientist Sir Isaac Newton.
  • Force can make an object move, change direction, speed up, stop, and change shape.
  • Contact force requires objects to touch each other to function, such as opening a door, kicking a ball, or pressing a button.
  • Non-contact force occurs without objects touching, including magnetic force, electrostatic force, and gravitational force.
  • Magnetic force is a push or pull exerted by a magnet, capable of attracting magnetic objects.
  • Electrostatic force exists between charged particles, resulting in phenomena like lightning and hair standing on end.
  • Gravitational force is the force that attracts objects towards the earth's center, causing the moon, planets, and even water to move accordingly.
