Force
This article on force examines the different types of forces (i) gravitational force (ii) magnetic force (iii) Frictional force (iv) adhesive force (v) cohesive force and (vi) centripetal force. Read on……….
Introduction
Force is believed to be a pull or a push of objects. It is felt when one is walking, sitting, rubbing things together, when objects are at rest among other activities. The SI unit of force is Newton (N). 1 newton is the same as 0.1kilograms i.e. 1kg = 10N. Force has different effects it can move stationary objects, it can stop moving objects, it can distort the shape of objects and it also changes direction of moving objects. Move is applied in our everyday life.
Types of force
There are many forms of force which include:
Gravitational force
Magnetic force
Frictional force
Adhesive force
Cohesive force
Centripetal force
Gravitational force.
One day newton was lying under a mango tree a mango fell; he questioned himself why it did not go up instead fell down. He said that there must be a force that pulls objects towards the center of the earth. This force he said that it is called gravitational force. Therefore, gravitational force it is a force that is acting towards the center of the earth.
Convert the following kilograms into newton:
10kg
If 1kg =10N/kg
?? 10kg=?
64770023304510kg×10N/Kg
1
=100N
Convert the following into kilograms:
1000N
If 1kg=10N/kg
1000N= ?647700183515001000 ×1
10
=100Kg
Magnetic force
This is a force that is felt when a magnet attracts magnetic materials. A magnet has got two ends called poles i.e. North Pole and South Pole.
