FORCE AND MOTION

FORCES  ARE  PUSHES  OR  PULLS that  change  the   motion of  objects .To  make   a  stationary  object  move ,or  a moving  object  stop,  a  force  is  needed .A  force is  also  required  to  change the  speed   and  direction  of  an  object . This   change   in  speed  or  direction is  known  as   acceleration  .Acceleration   depends   on   the  size  (magnitude ) of  the  force ,  and  on  the  mass of  the  object .
The  effect  of  forces  were  first  summarized    by  Isaac  Newton  in his  three  laws of  motion. The  International   unit   of  force  , named  after  him, is  the  Newton(N) which  is   approximately   equal   to  the   weight  of   an  apple.Gravity - the  force  of  attraction   between  any  two  masses- can  be  measured  using  a  Newton  meter  (spring  balance).Forces  are  put to useful  effect  in machines .A  simple  machine , such as   a  wheel  and axle ,  is   a device   that  changes  the   size  or  direction   of  an    applied  force . It  allows   an  applied  force  (the  effort)  to  produce   another  force    (the  load ).A  Lever  uses   a  bar  that  turn  on  a    fulcrum to  exert  force . In  all  simple   machines -  there  is  a relationship   between  force  and  distance .A  small  force  (in  a  compound pulley  for instance )   moves  through   a  large  distance   to  lift   a  heavy  object   a  small   distance . This  is  callled   the Law  of  Simple  Machines .
NEWTON'S   THREE   LAWS  OF  MOTION
  • NEWTON'S  FIRST  LAW.-When   no   force  acts  on  a  body , it  will   continue    in  a  state  of  rest  or  uniform  motion.
  • NEWTON'S  SECOND  LAW.-When  a  force  acts  on  a  body ,  the  motion    of  the   body  will  change .The  size  of  the  change   will  depend  upon  the  mass of   the  object  and  the  magnitude  of  the  applied  force.

NEWTON'S  THIRD  LAW .-If  one  object   exerts  a  force   on  another ,  an  equal   and  opposite   force ,called  the  reaction  force,  is  applied  by  the  second  object  on  the  first .SOME   SIMPLE   MACHINES .
  • Simple  and  compound  pulley.
  • Wheel  and  Axle 
  • Screw
  • Levey
  • Wedge.

REVOLUTIONS-INDUSTRIAL AND INFORMATION

INDUSTRIAL   REVOLUTION  Starts   in   Europe  particularly  in  England  in  eighteen  century.It   changed  the  whole   of Europe   and   England 's  economy.During  this  period    New    machines  are  invented  in   England   to  speed  up  the    spinning  of  wool  and  cotton .At  first  they  were  powered  by  water  wheels  but  later steam  engines   are  developed.Iron   become  cheaper  and  stronger  as  Iron  making  techniques   improved.Canals  are  dug  to  carry   coal   from  the  mines and  to  transport  finished  goods.After   some times  Railways    replaced  canals  .The  first  railways   opens  in   1825.Big  changes   took  place   in  Agriculture  .Machines  replaced    human  power,thus  now  fewer  people   are  to  grow  food.This  forced  people   to  leave  the  country side   to  find  work  in  mills  and  factories.Industrial   town   grow   rapidly.   MASS  PRODUCTION -  The  most  unique   thing   of  Industrialization    was   mass  produ
