Forces in Physics

What type of forces happen when one object directly touches another object?

What force is experienced by objects like strings, ropes, wires, or cables when they are stretched?

What would happen to objects on Earth without the gravitational force?

Which force is responsible for making a parachute land more slowly by filling it with air?

What type of force is exerted when an object moves across a surface?

Which force is responsible for keeping objects from floating through the air on Earth?

Which force works on airplanes and parachutes by pushing objects in the air?

What happens when an object like a string, rope, wire, or cable is stretched?

Air resistance force is an example of a non-contact force.

Frictional force is an example of a non-contact force.

Tension force is experienced by objects like strings, ropes, wires, or cables when they are compressed.

Gravity only works on Earth and not in space.

Wind and air molecules cause tension force on objects in the air.

Contact forces happen when one object directly touches another object.

Frictional force is the effort needed to move two objects past each other without any resistance.

Tension force only works on objects that are completely still.

Air resistance force makes parachutes land more quickly.

Non-contact forces can push or pull objects without any direct touch.

What type of forces happen when one object directly touches another object?

A force is the push or pull on an object which happens when one object does something to another object. Forces can make something speed up, slow down, stop, stay in place, or change shapes. There are many kinds of forces, but the two main categories are contact and non-contact forces. Contact Forces happen when one object directly touches another object. When an object moves across a surface, it causes ______.

Air resistance force is an example of a non-contact force. Which force is responsible for making a parachute land more slowly by filling it with ______? Contact forces happen when one object directly touches another object. When an object moves across a surface, it causes friction. Frictional force is the effort needed to move two objects past each other.
