Forces And Their Interactions
Übersicht
Hold a magnet a centimetre above a steel paperclip and the clip jumps up to meet it. Nothing touched it. Rest the same clip on a table instead and it sits there, perfectly still, even though gravity is pulling on it the whole time. Two everyday moments, two completely different ways for one object to act on another, and between them they contain most of what this lesson is about.
You will sort every force you meet into the ones that need contact and the ones that reach across a gap, and learn why a force is never something an object simply has. Then you will put a number on gravity itself, work out what you would weigh standing on the Moon without changing your mass by a single gram, and stretch a spring far enough to find the point where it stops behaving itself. This is the first topic of the course, and almost everything that follows leans on it.

- Objects interact by non-contact (field) forces (including gravity, electrostatics, magnetism) and by contact forces (including friction, air resistance, tension and normal contact force).
- Friction is a force between two surfaces, which impedes motion and may result in heating. Air resistance is a form of friction.
- Weight is the force acting on an object due to gravity. The weight of an object depends on the gravitational field strength at the point where the object is. The weight of an object can be calculated using the equation: Weight (N) = mass (kg) × gravitational field strength (N/kg) W=m×g Students will not be expected to know the value of g; it will be given in any examination items.
- A force applied to an elastic object such as a spring will result in the object stretching and storing elastic potential energy.
- For an object behaving elastically, the extension is directly proportional to the force applied, provided that the limit of proportionality is not exceeded. The relationship between the force, F, and the extension, e, is: F=k×e where k is a constant. Required practical: Investigate the relationship between force and extension for a spring.

Normal, Tension, and Other Examples of Forces
Forces are given many names, such as push, pull, thrust, lift, weight, friction, and tension. Traditionally, forces have been grouped into several categories and given names relating to their source, how they are transmitted, or their effects. The most important of these categories are discussed in

Elasticity: Stress and Strain
We now move from consideration of forces that affect the motion of an object (such as friction and drag) to those that affect an object’s shape. If a bulldozer pushes a car into a wall, the car will not move but it will noticeably change shape. A change in shape due to the application of a force is
