Chapter 2 Review: Force and Motion

The force of attraction or pull between any two objects. This force pulls objects toward Earth’s center.

• contact force

• friction

• gravity

• inertia

The tendency of an object to resist any change in motion.

• contact force

• inertia

• non-contact force

A force that requires two pieces of matter to touch.
