                       Most of the motions we come across in our daily life are caused primarily by
               FORCE.

                       To better understand the topic, perform the simple activities that follow:



                                         Activity 1. Effect of force on a ball











                                           Figure 6. Effect of force on a ball

                       Examine the ball on top of the table (see figure 6). Choose the letter of your
               answer to the given conditions below:


                          Condition                                     Answer

                   1.  In letter A, is the ball   A.  Yes                       B.  No
                       at rest?

                   2.  How can you make           A.  The ball has to be        B.  The ball has to be
                       the ball move?                 pushed or pulled.             pulled only.

                   3.  In letter B, what          A.  The ball moves in
                       happens to the ball            the same direction        B.  The ball does not
                       when you push it               as the force.                 move.
                       with enough force?
                                                                                B.  The ball has to be
                   4.  In letter C, while it is   A.  Exert a force
                       moving, how can you            opposite the motion           pushed in the
                                                                                    same direction of
                       make the ball stop?            of the ball.
                                                                                    its motion.
                                                                                B.   The ball has to be
                   5.  In letter D, how can       A.   The ball has to be           pushed in the
                       we make the ball               pushed sideways.              same direction of
                       change its direction?
                                                                                    its motion.
