Effect of Force to the Shape of Objects (MELC Code S4FEIIIa-1)
Effect of Force to the Shape of Objects MELC Code S4FEIIIa-1 MELC Code S4FEIIIa-1 covers the topic of the effect of force on the shape of objects. In this lesson, we will explore the different types of forces and how they affect the shape of objects. Types of Forces There are several types of forces that can act on an object, including: Gravity - the force that pulls objects toward each other due to their mass. Friction - the force that opposes the motion of an object. Tension - the force that is transmitted through a rope, cable, or wire when it is pulled tight. Compression - the force that is exerted on an object when it is squeezed or pressed. Shear - the force that is exerted on an object when it is cut or torn. Effect of Forces on the Shape of Objects Different types of forces can have different effects on the shape of an object. For example: Gravity can cause an object to change shape if it is deformed under its own weight. This can be seen in the sagging of a heavy object, su...
