Types of Forces

Front

What is an Applied Force?

Back

An Applied Force can be defined as any observed push or pull from any other source.

Front

What is an at a distance force?

Back

An at a distance force is a force that does not require physical contact.

Front

What is Friction Force?

Back

Friction Force can be defined as the force that opposes surfaces from sliding against each other.

Front

What is the unit for Mass?

Back

The unit for Mass is kg.

Front

What is the Force of Air Resistance?

Back

The Force of Air Resistance can be defined as the resistive force when moving through air.

Front

What are the two main categories of forces?

Back

The two main categories of forces are contact forces and at a distance forces.

Front

What is a Contact Force?

Back

A Contact Force is a force that requires physical contact between two objects.

Front

What is an example of a Contact Force?

Back

An example of a Contact Force is friction.

Front

What is a Gravitational Force?

Back

Gravitational Force is the attractive force between two masses.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Force?

Back

The formula for calculating Force is F = m * a, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
