Contact Forces- forces that need to be in direct contact with the object in order to
apply force on it

1. Applied Force- is transferred from a person or an object to another.

2. Normal Force- is exerted on an object when it is in contact with another

object

3. Friction Force- occurs when an object moves or tries to move across a

surface and the surface opposes the object’s movement.

4. Air Resistance Force- acts on objects as they travel through the air. This
force will oppose motion, but only factors in when object travel at high speeds
or have a large surface area.

5. Tension Force- passes through strings, cables, ropes, or wire when they are
being pulled in opposite directions.

Non-contact Forces- are forces that do not need to be in direct contact with an
object in order to be applied.

1. Gravitational Force- force on Earth’s interaction with people, animals, and

objects.

2. Magnetic force- is an attraction force usually associated with electrical

currents and magnets.
