types of forces

A push or pull exerted on an object

• gravity

• force

• friction

• free fall

The overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on it are added together

• fluid friction

• inertia

• net force

• centripetal force

Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions

• balanced forces

• air resistance

• law of conservation of momentum

• unbalanced forces

The force that one surface exerts on another when the two surfaces rub against each other

• friction

• projectile

• net force

• fluid friction

A measure of how much matter is in an object

• mass

• gravity

• weight

• free fall

A measure of force of gravity on an object

• mass

• gravity

• freefall

• weight

An elastic force that squeezes or pushes the molecules in matter together

• tension

• gravity

• compression

• air pressure

An elastic force that stretches or pulls on the molecules in matter

• weight

• momentum

• inertia

• tension

A force that causes an object to move in a circle

• weight

• law of conservation of momentum

• centripetal force

• satellite
