1. FORCE

1.1. a push or pull

1.1.1. lifting

1.1.2. bending

1.1.3. stretching

1.1.4. twisting

1.1.5. squeezing

1.2. cannot be seen

1.3. can see its effect

1.3.1. change in size

1.3.2. change in shape

1.3.3. change in speed

1.3.4. start a object moving

1.3.5. change direction of an object

2. TYPES OF FORCES

2.1. gravitational force

2.1.1. weight

2.1.1.1. depends on the force of gravity acting on it

2.1.1.2. greater the force of gravity = increase object

2.1.2. pulls all object down to earth

2.1.3. also know as gravity

2.1.4. exist between 2 objects

2.2. magnetic force

2.2.1. attracts magnetic materials

2.3.5.2. ball bearings

2.3.5.3. lubricants

2.3.5.4. streamlining

3. PRESSURE

3.1. certain amount of force applied to a certain area

3.2. smaller area = larger pressure

3.3. depends on

3.3.1. area

3.3.2. force

4. CALCULATION
