Unit 7- Forces Vocabulary

the force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring upon any object that is attached to it

• spring force
• magnetic force
• normal force
• applied force

States that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force on the first object that is equal in strength and in the opposite direction.
