weight

define friction

objects are in contact and move in opposing directions.

define tension

pulling an object

define air resistance

type of friction against air and object in air.

define thrust

force with pushes object forward

define gravity

force that pulls everything to earth

define weight

gravity acting upon a mass

define electrostatic

force between charged particles

define magnetic

force exerted by magnets

define vector

quantity that has magnitude and direction

examples of vector forces

weight

velocity

acceleration

define scalar

quantities that have only magnitude

examples of scalar forces

speed

temperature

mass

define resultant force

overall force when all forces are acting upon an object

formula for force

mass x acceleration
