Q & A

What is force and how is it measured?

Force is the push or pull that acts on an object due to its interaction with another object. It is measured using a device such as a force meter or a spring balance, which measures the amount of force applied to an object.

What is the unit of force?

The unit of force is called Newton.

How does force relate to motion?

Force can cause objects to move, stop, change speed, or change direction. Motion is defined as the movement in different directions.

What happens when a boy pushes a cart?

The boy exerts force on the cart, causing it to move. The cart pushed with greater force moves faster than one with the same mass but pushed with a smaller amount of force.

How does force affect a moving object's speed?

Force can change the speed of a moving object, making it move slower or faster. For example, a strong current of flowing water can carry a raft forward and make it move faster.

What is acceleration and deceleration?

Acceleration is when the motion increases its speed, while deceleration is when the motion slows down or decreases its speed.

How does friction affect the movement of a vehicle?

Friction, which is the force produced when two surfaces rub against each other, can slow down the movement of a vehicle on a rough road.

How can force change the shape of an object?

Applying force to an object can change its shape, such as when molding clay or hammering an iron bar.

What is gravity and how does it affect objects?

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth. It is responsible for keeping objects on the ground and causing them to fall when thrown into the air.

How does the amount of force applied to an object affect its size?

The greater the amount of force applied to an object, the greater the decrease in the object's size will be. For example, squeezing a sponge with both hands will make it smaller than when squeezed with just one hand.

What is the effect of force on a soccer ball when it is kicked?

When a soccer ball on the ground is kicked, the force exerted by the foot causes the ball to move from a state of rest.

Keywords

💡Force

Force is defined as a push or a pull that acts on an object due to its interaction with another object. In the context of the video, it is the fundamental concept that drives the motion and changes in objects. For example, when a boy pushes a cart, he exerts force on it, causing it to move. The video also illustrates how different magnitudes of force can result in different effects, such as a cart moving faster when pushed with greater force.

💡Motion

Motion refers to the movement of an object in different directions. It is central to the video's theme as it demonstrates how force can initiate, stop, or alter motion. The video gives examples of a boy pushing a cart to make it move and a running car stopping when it crashes into a tree, both instances highlighting the effect of force on motion.

💡Spring Balance

A spring balance is a device used to measure force. It contains a spring connected to a metal hook, and when a force is applied to the hook, the spring stretches. The video explains that the greater the force, the longer the stretch of the spring, and thus the higher the reading on the device. This concept is crucial for understanding how force can be quantified.

💡Newton

The unit of force is called a Newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, who formulated the laws of motion. The video uses this term to emphasize the standard measurement of force, which is essential for understanding the effects of different forces on objects.

💡Acceleration

Acceleration is the increase in the speed of an object's motion. The video relates this concept to force by showing how a strong current of flowing water can carry a raft forward and make it move faster, demonstrating that force can lead to acceleration.

💡Deceleration

Deceleration is the decrease in the speed of an object's motion. The video uses the example of air resistance slowing down a running person to illustrate how force can cause deceleration. This concept is important for understanding how forces can oppose motion and bring it to a slower pace or to a stop.

💡Friction

Friction is the force that occurs when two surfaces rub against each other. The video explains that friction can slow down the movement of a vehicle on a rough road, showing how it is a type of force that opposes motion. Friction is a key concept in understanding how forces can alter the state of motion.

💡Shape

In the context of the video, changing the shape of an object is one of the effects of force. The video gives examples such as molding clay and hammering an iron bar to show how force can deform or reshape objects. This concept is important for understanding how force can cause permanent or temporary changes in the physical structure of objects.

💡Size

The video discusses how applying force can change the size of an object, such as squeezing a sponge or pushing down a spring. This concept is important for understanding how force can compress or expand objects, leading to changes in their dimensions.

💡Gravity

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth. The video explains that gravity is responsible for keeping objects grounded and for causing objects to fall when thrown into the air. It is a pervasive force that affects all objects on Earth and is a key concept in understanding why objects do not float and why they fall when not supported.

💡Change in Direction

The video describes how force can change the direction of moving objects, using the example of a boy hitting a moving ball with a stick. This concept is crucial for understanding how force can redirect the path of an object, which is a common occurrence in various physical interactions.

look around you you can see people and

things moving have you ever wondered

what makes things move

people and things move because of force

force is the push or a pull that acts on

an object due to its interaction with

another object

it can be measured using a device called

a force meter or a spring balance

a spring balance contains a spring

connected to a metal hook

when a force is applied to the hook the

spring stretches

the greater the force you apply the

longer the stretch of the spring and the

greater the reading on the device

the unit of force is called Newton

when force is applied to an object it

may cause a change in it either in its

movement shape or the direction to which

it is moving

motion is defined as the movement in

different directions

force can make objects have rest move

for example a boy pushes a cart to make

it move he exerts force on the cart the

cart that was pushed with greater force

moved faster than the one with the same

mass but was pushed with a smaller

amount of force

force can also make moving objects stop

for example a running car stops moving

when it crashes into a big tree

the position and mass of the tree allow

the tree to exert enough Force to stop

the car

force can change the speed of a moving

object it can make objects move slower

or faster

for example the strong current of

flowing water carries the raft forward

and makes it move faster on the river

acceleration is when the motion

increases its speed

another example is air moving against a

running person which slows down the

person's movement deceleration is when

the motion slows down or decreases its

speed

likewise friction on a rough road may

slow down the movement of a vehicle

friction is the force produced when two

surfaces rub against each other

force can also change the direction of

moving objects for example the boy

changes the direction of a moving Ball

by hitting it

the boy exerts a pushing force on the

ball force can change the shape of an

object

applying Force to an object may change

the object's shape

for example force is applied when

molding clay another example is the

hammering done on an iron bar

a baker needing a dough applies force

and changes the shape of the dough

force can change the size of an object

applying Force to an object can change

its size this can be demonstrated by

squeezing a sponge

pushing down a spring

molding clay into pots

and kneading dough to make bread

the amount of force exerted on an object

affects the amount of change in the

object

the greater the amount of force that is

applied to an object the greater the

decrease in the size of the object will

be

for example squeezing the sponge with

both hands stronger Force makes the

sponge smaller than when it is squeezed

with just one hand weaker force a

certain kind of force attracts people

and objects to the ground even if you

throw an object up in the air it will

come down because of gravity or the

force that pulls two objects toward each

other

gravity is the force that pulls objects

toward the center of Earth it is the

force that keeps Earth revolving around

the Sun

it is the reason why you do not float on

Earth

gravity causes the leaves of trees to

fall off when the wind blows on them

gravity causes a ball that you have

thrown up in the air to come down

to check how well you understood the

lesson let us have a short exercise

in the following situations identify the

changes by which the object or person

undergoes when force is applied

the mother caught in her arms the baby

who fell from the bed

the answer is a change in movement

water from a waterfall breaks the Rocks

below it into smaller pieces

the answer is a change in shape and size

the player hits the billiard ball with

the stick

the answer is a change in Direction

the athlete exerted more effort to run

faster and reach the goal before the

time

the answer is a change in speed

[Music]

a soccer ball on the ground moves after

a boy kicks it

[Music]

answer is made an object at rest move

good job kids
