FORCE AND PRESSURE

A force is a push or pulls acting on an object which changes or tends to change the state of the object.

In the international system of units (SI System), the unit of force is Newton (N) that is named after Sir Isaac Newton.

There are also other units like dyne, kilogram weight and pound.

Action of force and its effects:

Contact and non-contact forces

A force forces which act only when there is physical contact between two interacting objects are known as contact forces.

Forces which can act without physical contact between objects, i.e. those that can act from a distance, are called non-contact forces or field forces.

Types of forces

1. Muscular force: This is the force we can exert with our bodies by using our muscles, e.g. pull, push, kick etc. These are contact forces

2. Magnetic force : Magnets exert forces of attraction or repulsion on other magnets. An important feature of magnetic force is that it can act from a distance, and is therefore of a non-contact force.

3. Electrostatic force: The force exerted by a charged body on another charged or uncharged body is known as electrostatic force. Electrostatic force is used to separate solid pollutant particles from smoke given out from factories.

4. Gravitational force : All objects in the universe exert a force on all other objects. This is called gravitational force. The gravitational force exerted by the Earth on all the bodies on its surface is called gravity.

5. Frictional force : The fact that the rolling ball comes to rest after some time shows that there must be a force acting on it which tends to slow it down. This force seems to be more on rough surfaces than on smooth surfaces. The force acting against the relative motion of surfaces in contact is called frictional force or friction.

6. Tension Force:Strings, ropes and chains can only pull on things! The force of pull supplied by strings, ropes or chains is called the tension force. The tension force is always directed along the length of the thing doing the pulling (string, rope, chain).

7. Spring Force‎: is the force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring upon any object that is attached to it.

8. Applied Force: An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. If a person is pushing a desk across the room, then there is an applied force acting upon the object. The applied force is the force exerted on the desk by the person.

Mass and Weight : The mass of an object is the amount of matter that is contained by the object; the weight of an object is the force of gravity acting upon that object.

The mass of an object (measured in kg) by Pan Balance and will be the same no matter where in the universe that object is located. On the other hand, the weight of an object (measured in Newton) by Spring balance and will vary according to where in the universe the object is

Class 10 Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salts NCERT Activity Explanation

NCERT Activity Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salt Class 10 Chemistry Activity 2.1 Indicator Acid Base Red litmus No Change Blue Blue Litmus Red No change Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink Methyl Orange Pink Yellow Indictors are substance which change colour in acidic or basic media. Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get d...

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page ...

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination(Solved)

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination Law of conservation of mass Law of constant proportion Empirical formula 1. If 10 grams of CaCO 3 on heating gave 4.4g of CO 2 and 5.6g of CaO, show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.(Based on Law of conservation of mass) Solution: Mass of the reactants = 10g ; Mass of the products = 4.4 + 6.6g = 10g Since the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products, the observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. 2. 1.375 g of cupric oxide was reduced by heating and the weight of copper that remained was 1.098g. In another experiment 1.179 g of copper was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting copper nitrate was converted into cupric oxide by ignition . The weight of cupric oxide formed was 1.476 g. which law of chemical combinations does this data state? Solution: in first experiment: Copper oxide = 1....
