1 Forces Pages 188 to 191

2 Forces Force - a push or a pull, measured in Newtons (N) Contact Force – is a push or a pull one object applies to another object that is touching it. Example : Friction Noncontact Force – a force that one object applies to another object without touching. Example : Gravity

3 Forces Gravity – is an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass The strength of the force depends on the mass of each object and the distance between them Mass – the amount of matter in an object Weight – how strong gravity pulls on an object’s mass

4 Forces Friction - is a contact force that resists the motion of two surfaces that are touching. Stops motion Air resistance – is the frictional force between air and objects moving through it.

5 Forces Balanced forces Equal strength, but going in opposite directions. Do NOT cause movement Unbalanced forces Will cause the object to move in the direction of the combined force
