    This document summarizes key concepts about force and pressure for an 8th grade science class. It defines push and pull forces as those that move an object away from or towards the applier of force. Contact forces include muscular and frictional forces, while non-contact forces are magnetic, electrostatic, and gravitational. Pressure is defined as force per unit area, and examples are given of how water, gas, and the atmosphere exert pressure on their containers.

    Grade 8 Force and Pressure

    Push When an object is moving away from the applier of force Pull When an object is moving towards the applier of force Force applied in the same direction Addition Force applied in the opposite direction Substation Contact forces 1. Muscular force It involves the action of muscles. 2. Friction When one object moves or tries to move over the other, it produces friction. None-contact forces 1. Magnetic force Force active between two magnets or one magnet and one non-magnet 2. Electrostatic force Force due to electric charges 3. Gravitational force Force due to earths gravity Pressure Force per unit area Pressure =
    Force Area on which it acts

    Water and gas exert pressure on the walls of their container. Atmospheric pressure = Weight of the atmosphere per unit area
