Contact Forces
- Contact forces occur between objects that are physically touching each other.
- Examples of contact forces include pushing a desk or pulling a go-cart.
Friction
- Friction is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.
- It always acts in the opposite direction to the movement of the object.
- Friction slows down objects in motion, such as a ball rolling on grass.
Factors Affecting Friction
- The amount of force required to move objects depends on friction and the normal force.
- Normal force is the perpendicular contact force exerted by a surface on an object.
- In a free-body diagram, friction acts opposite to the direction of motion, and normal force acts perpendicular to the surface.
Normal Force
- Normal force acts perpendicular to the surface on which an object rests, preventing it from penetrating the surface.
- On a flat, level surface, the normal force equals the object's weight but in the opposite direction.
- Example: A box on the floor has a normal force acting upward, equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the weight of the box.
Relationship Between Friction and Normal Force
- Friction depends on the type of surface and the normal force.
- To move an object, a force greater than the frictional force must be applied.
- Example: Net force is calculated by subtracting friction from the pushing force.
Advantages of Friction
- Friction allows us to walk without slipping by providing traction between our feet and the ground.
- Friction between car tires and the road prevents skidding, ensuring vehicle safety.
Tension and Compression
- Tension occurs when an object is being pulled by forces acting from opposite ends.
- Example: Tension exists in a rope when pulling a block across the floor.
- Compression occurs when an object is being squashed or deformed by forces acting towards each other.
- Example: Crushing a ball of dough with fingers or compressing a tennis ball.
Everyday Examples of Compression and Tension
- Bridges experience both compression and tension due to the weight of vehicles passing over them.
- Compression occurs in the pillars, while tension occurs in the cables of a bridge.
