Type of forces

  Force is a fundamental concept in physics that describes the interaction between objects, causing them to move, stop, or change direction. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In simple terms, force can be defined as a push or a pull exerted on an object. The study of force is crucial in understanding motion and mechanics, forming the basis of Newtonian physics. Types of Forces Forces can be categorized into two main types: Contact Forces – These forces arise when two objects physically interact. Examples include: Frictional Force – The resistance encountered when objects slide or attempt to slide over each other. Normal Force – The support force a surface exerts against an object resting on it. Tension Force – The pulling force exerted by a string, rope, or cable. Applied Force – Any force applied externally by a person or object. Non-Contact Forces – These forces act on objects without direct physical contact. Examples include: Gravitatio...
