Some Types of Forces
Definition
Direction
A force that is a special type of
frictional force. This force is often
neglected
This force is applied to an object by a
person or another object
The force act in the opposite direction
to an object moving through the air
The contact force that acts to oppose
sliding or is caused by air.
Parallel to the surface and opposite the
direction of sliding
A long-range force due to
gravitational attraction between two
objects, generally earth and an object
Upward force that causes airplanes
and other flying objects to fly
Straight down towards the center of
earth
The contact force exerted by a
surface on an object
Perpendicular to and away from the
surface
The pull exerted by a string, rope, or
cable when attached to a body and
pulled tight
Away from the object and parallel to
the string, rope, or cable at the point of
attachment
A general term for the forces that
propel objects such as rockets, planes
& cars. Force from engines.
In the same direction as the
acceleration of the object without any
resistive forces
