Flashcards

Atmospheric pressure

The force exerted by a fluid (like air) perpendicular to a surface.

Force of gravity

The force exerted on an object due to gravity.

Friction

A force that acts between objects in contact, opposing their motion.

Non-contact force

A force that acts on an object without direct contact, like the force between a magnet and a metal.

Contact force

A force that acts on an object when it's in contact with another object, like pushing a door open.

Hammering force on iron

The force due to hammering causes deformation in the piece of iron, changing its shape. Hammering creates a force that compresses the iron atoms closer together, resulting in a more compact structure.

Balloon sticking to a wall

The balloon sticks to the wall due to static electricity. Rubbing the balloon with the synthetic cloth creates an imbalance of charges, making the balloon statically charged. This charge attracts the opposite charges on the wall, resulting in the stickiness.

Forces acting on a bucket

When you hold the bucket above ground, the forces acting on it are gravity pulling it down, and your hand pushing it upwards. These forces are equal and opposite, resulting in a balanced state. The bucket stays stationary because the forces are balanced, causing no acceleration.

Forces on a rocket at launch

When a rocket launches, the two main forces acting on it immediately after leaving the launching pad are thrust from the rocket engine pushing it upward, and gravity pulling it downward.

Water rising in a dropper

The rise of water in the dropper is due to atmospheric pressure. When the pressure on the rubber bulb is released, the atmospheric pressure pushes the water into the dropper, filling it. Atmospheric pressure acts on the surface of the water, causing the rise.

Study Notes

Force and Pressure

  • Air pressure on a 15cm x 15cm head surface is equivalent to the force of gravity on a 225kg object (2250N)
  • This pressure is balanced by the equal pressure inside the body.

Types of Forces

  • Muscular force: An archer applies a force causing a change in the bow's shape
  • Contact force: The archer's force to stretch the bow is a contact force
  • Non-contact force: The force causing a change in the arrow's motion is a non-contact force.
  • Forces acting on the arrow: Gravity and air friction
  • Examples of forces and effects:
    • Squeezing lemon: Finger force extracts juice.
    • Toothpaste tube: Finger force pushes out paste.
    • Suspended load: Gravity pulls load down, spring exerts an upward force.
    • High jump: Athlete's jump force overcomes gravity to clear bar.

Effects of Hammering

  • Blacksmith's hammer force changes the hot iron's shape and properties.

Balloon-Wall Attraction

  • Rubbing the balloon with synthetic cloth causes static electricity; this attraction force is involved.

Forces on a Bucket (Static)

  • Forces on a bucket held in the air: Gravity pulling it down, opposing force (hand holding) pushing up. Since no motion change, forces are balanced.

Rocket Forces

  • Two forces immediately after rocket launch: Gravity (downward) and thrust (upward)

Dropper and Pressure

  • Water rises in a dropper due to atmospheric pressure.
