Contact Forces:
A force between two objects that are in contact with one another
Non Contact Forces:
Acts between objects that are NOT physically touching each other
Normal Force:
Force experienced by an object that is at rest on a surface
Applied Force:
Force exerted on an object by a person on another object
Tension:
Experienced by an object that is stretched
Friction Force:
Experienced by an object sliding past each other
Air Resistance:
Experienced by an object moving through air (Depends on surface area).
Magnetic Force:
Experienced by a magnetic material in a magnetic field. It is an attractive and repulsive force.
Magnetic force depends on:
Distance between magnets and Size of magnet
Electrostatic Force:
region or space around a charged particle where force is experienced. Attractive and repulsive force
Electrostatic force depends on:
amount of charge and distance between charges
Gravitational Force:
Attractive force between any two objects
Gravitational force depends on:
Distance of objects and mass of objects.
