Forces and its types

What is Force?

pushing and pulling of any object resulting change the direction & shape is force.

 Without force, nothing can be moved, stopped or change the direction. It is a quantitative interaction between two physical bodies, between an object and its environment. There are various types of forces in nature.



If an object is in its motion state than its current state will be either static or motion. Its position will only be changed if it is pushed or pulled. The external push or pull applied on the object changes its current state of motion is known as Force. This force can be of different types. They are stated below.

Different Types Of Forces

Force is a physical cause that can change the state of motion of any object or the dimensions. Different types of Forces are listed below-

Contact Forces

The contact forces are the forces which occurs when we apply some effort on an object.

 Following is the classification of contact force:

** Spring Force
** Applied Force
** Air Resistance Force
** Normal Force
** Tension Force
** Frictional Force

Non-Contact forces

The non-contact forces are the forces which occurs from a distance. 

Following is the classification of non-contact forces:

**. Electromagnetic Force
**. Gravitational Force
**. Nuclear Force

Spring Force

This force works opposite to the displacement of molecules. Like in a spring or elastic rubber band etc.


Applied Force

The force which is applied by our muscles is called applied force is also called muscular force. For example, pushing a box or kicking a ball etc.


Air Resistance Force

The force exerted by a gas acting upon a body on the opposite direction is called air resistance force. The examples are the forces experienced by a skydiver or a downhill skier etc.


Normal Force

It is referred to the force which acts when two surfaces are in contact. This force is perpendicular to the surface and acts in the direction out of the surface. For example, a box on top of a table.


Tension Force

This type of force is experienced by a rope or a string which holds an object. 

The tension force is always a pull not a push. The tension force is same throughout the cable.

 For example, a ball hanging with the help of a string.


Frictional Force

Frictional force acts when the objects on a surface is trying to moves relative to surface. For example, when a box is slid on a table.



Electromagnetic Force

These are the magnetic and electric interactions between atoms and molecules which helps in binding and defining the structure of solids.

 For example, in a magnet, poles attract each other.



Gravitational Force

It is defined as the force acting between objects due to presence of matter. For example, Earth’s gravity acting upon objects and is given as:

Fgrav=m×g

Nuclear Force

The force responsible for the bonding of nucleus is known as nuclear force. For example, forces resulting in radioactive decay.


Balanced Force

When two forces are in opposite direction and possess equal magnitude then these forces called are a balance force. 




Unbalanced Force

The unbalanced force can be defined as ” when two forces acting on a body are of unequal size.

methods of separation of substances

The substances that we see around us are not in their pure form. They are basically a mixture of two or more substances. Methods Of Separating Mixtures Some of the common methods of separating substances or mixtures are: 1.   Handpicking 2.  Threshing 3.   Winnowing 4.   Sieving 5.   Evaporation 6.   Distillation 7.   Filtration or Sedimentation 8.   Separating Funnel 9.   Magnetic Separation Now Let us discuss these methods in detail below. 1.. Handpicking Handpicking process This method involves simply picking out all the unwanted substances by hand and separating them from useful ones. The separated substances may be an impurity that has to throw away or maybe that both the separated substances are useful.  For example – if you separate black grapes from green ones from a mixture of the two. 2..Threshing Threshing process This method is mostly done during the harvesting of crops. Normally, the s...

Motion and its type

Introduction to Motion When we talk about motion or rest it is with reference to some point known as the origin.  So, now with respect to the change in the position we have two quantities which can be used to describe that change in position.  They are distance and displacement. So now the question is, what is the difference between the two? Talking about distance, it is defined as the total path length covered during the motion. It can be represented only by magnitude. On the other hand, displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position. It requires both magnitude and direction for complete representation. What is Motion? We can define motion as the change of position of an object with respect to time.  A book falling off a table, water flowing from the tap, rattling windows, etc all exhibit motion. Even the air that we breathe exhibits motion!  Everything in the universe moves. We live in a universe that is in continual motion.  ...
