Shows both magnitude and direction.

• forces

• vectors

• gravity

• push or pull

Example of a non-contact force or field force.

• gravity

• tension

• friction

• normal

Forces that require the agent and receiver to be touching.

• field forces

• non-contact forces

• contact forces

• agent forces

Also called "weight".

• friction force
