Exploring Forces and Motion in Object Interactions

The video tutorial explores the concept of forces, defining them as pushes or pulls that can change an object's shape, speed, or direction. It categorizes forces into contact and non-contact types, explaining the differences and providing examples of each. Contact forces include friction, tension, normal force, air resistance, and spring force, while non-contact forces include gravity, electromagnetic, and nuclear forces. The video concludes by summarizing the role of forces in object interaction.

What is a force?

• A form of matter

• A push or pull
