Different Kinds Of Forces And Their Meaning

Different kinds of forces and their meaning

 

KINDS OF FORCES

1. Gravitational Force  

• Is a force that pulls object toward one another.  

• It is this universal force that affects the bigger and the smaller objects.  

• The strength of gravitational force depends on the amount of mass in an object and the distance between objects.  

 

2. Magnetic Force  

• Is a force that causes objects to attract or repel from each other.  

• It is force shown when magnets and iron are attached to each other.  

3. Electric Force  

• Is the force that exists between charged products.  

• Objects with different charges attract each other, and objects with the same charge repel each other.  

• Electric force is much more stronger than gravitational force.  

• It holds particles together that make up a matter.  

4. Nuclear Force  

• Is the force that holds particles in the nucleus together  

• There are two types of nuclear force:  

                - Strong Nuclear Force

                    The strong nuclear force holds the nuclear particles together by holding the quarks together.  

                    The strong force exists in a very short distance.  

                 - Weak Nuclear Force

                     Is the force that holds particles within protons and neutrons together.  

 

5. Frictional Force  

• Friction opposes motion  

• It causes the object that moves along a surface to slow down and eventually stop.  

6.  Centrifugal Force  

• Is an outward force that pulls object away from the center.  

7. Centripetal Force  

• Is a force that pulls objects inward
