FORCES AND

ITS TYPES

WHAT IS FORCE?

It is an interaction between two objects – the
one being pulled or pushed and the one doing
the pulling and pushing.

It is measured in
Newtons (N).

TYPES OF FORCES

CONTACT FORCE

NONCONTACT FORCE

CONTACT FORCES

These are types of forces
that are present between
two surfaces.

What force opposes

the movement of

objects?

It is a CONTACT FORCE!

FRICTIONAL FORCE OR FRICTION

It is a contact force that opposes motion.

TYPES OF FRICTION

= Less Friction

= Greater Friction

NONCONTACT FORCES

Types of forces that act on
objects without touching
them

What force causes fruits to fall

to the ground?

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE

A force that pulls objects
toward the center of the
Earth.

Weight is the measure
of the gravity’s pull.

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE

Center of Gravity
is the point where

the mass of an

object is

concentrated.

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE

MAGNETIC FORCE

A force produced by the
magnetic field of a magnet

Objects attracted to a
magnet are magnetic
materials.
