Physics Basics: Force & Pressure

The document covers the concepts of force and pressure, including definitions, effects, and examples of both contact and non-contact forces. It also discusses pressure calculations, the significance of pressure in daily life, and true/false questions to assess understanding. Key topics include the relationship between force, area, and pressure, as well as practical applications like the design of shoes and the behavior of liquids in containers.

2.​ State the effects of force on an object.
3.​ Explain the difference between contact and non-contact forces with examples.
4.​ What is pressure? How is it related to force and area?
5.​ Why are the soles of shoes made rough?
6.​ What are balanced and unbalanced forces? Give an example of each.
7.​ How does a liquid exert pressure on the walls of its container?
8.​ Why are dams constructed with thicker walls at the bottom?

1.​ A force of 20 N is applied on a surface of area 4 m². Calculate the pressure


exerted.

pressure it exerts when placed on the ground with its largest face.
3.​ Calculate the pressure exerted by a force of 100 N acting on an area of 0.5
m².
4.​ A person weighing 600 N stands on a floor. If the area of both feet in contact
with the floor is 0.1 m², calculate the pressure exerted.

3.​ Why do we feel more pressure on our shoulder when carrying a heavy bag
with a thin strap?
4.​ How do suction cups stick to a surface? Explain using the concept of
pressure.
