Study Notes
Force and Pressure
Pressure In Fluids
- Pressure in a fluid (liquid or gas) is the force per unit area exerted on an object or surface
- Pressure in a fluid is transmitted equally in all directions
- Fluid pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the fluid above
- Formula: P = F / A, where P is pressure, F is force, and A is area
Pressure Measurement
- Units of pressure: Pa (Pascals), psi (pounds per square inch), atm (atmospheres)
- Barometers measure atmospheric pressure
- Manometers measure pressure difference between two points
Normal Force
- Normal force is the force exerted by a surface on an object that is in contact with it
- Normal force is perpendicular to the surface
- Normal force is responsible for supporting the weight of an object
Friction
- Friction is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact
- Types of friction:
- Static friction: prevents an object from moving
- Kinetic friction: slows down an object in motion
- Rolling friction: occurs when an object rolls on a surface
- Fluid friction: occurs when an object moves through a fluid
Gravity
- Gravity is the force that attracts two objects with mass towards each other
- Gravity is a universal force that affects everything with mass
- Gravity is responsible for keeping objects on the surface of the Earth
Electrostatic Force
- Electrostatic force is the force that arises between charged particles
- Like charges (positive-positive or negative-negative) repel each other
- Opposite charges (positive-negative) attract each other
Air Pressure
- Air pressure is the pressure exerted by the weight of the air in the atmosphere
- Air pressure decreases with altitude
- Air pressure is responsible for the sound of a voice and the ability to breathe

Characteristics of Pressure
- Pressure can be measured in units such as Pa (Pascals), psi (pounds per square inch), and atm (atmospheres).
- Barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure.
- Manometers measure pressure difference between two points.
Normal Force
- Normal force is the force exerted by a surface on an object that is in contact with it, perpendicular to the surface.
- Normal force is responsible for supporting the weight of an object.
Friction
- Friction is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.
- Types of friction include:
- Static friction, which prevents an object from moving.
- Kinetic friction, which slows down an object in motion.
