What are certain types of forces?

For year 7 level science, studying forces!

What is gravitational force?

Gravitational force is the attraction between two masses, such as between the Earth and an object, which pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.

What is electromagnetic force?

Electromagnetic force is the force associated with charged particles, responsible for electricity, magnetism, and light interactions.

What is frictional force?

Frictional force is the force that opposes the motion of objects sliding against each other, acting parallel to the surface.

What is tension force?

Tension force is the force transmitted through a string, rope, or wire when it is pulled tight by forces acting at either end.

What is normal force?

Normal force is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it, acting perpendicular to the surface.

What is applied force?

Applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object, typically resulting in some form of motion.

What is balanced force?

Balanced forces occur when two forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

What is unbalanced force?

Unbalanced forces occur when two forces acting on an object are not equal in size or direction, resulting in a change in motion of the object.

What is net force?

Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all individual forces are combined, determining the object's acceleration and motion.

What is electrostatic force?

Electrostatic force is the attractive or repulsive force between charged objects, depending on their charges. It plays a crucial role in the interactions between particles in atoms and influences chemical bonding.

What is the magnetic field force?

The magnetic field force is the influence exerted by a magnetic field on charged particles or magnetic materials, causing them to experience a force that can result in motion or alignment in the direction of the field.
