What is applied Force

200

Normal Force

What is a Push

200

Air resistance on a car traveling east (right)

Left

200

300

Gravity

What is a Pull

300

two ropes hold a decorative sphere in the air. They are attached to the side of the sphere

Left and right

300

Object hanging by a rope

At rest, No acceleration

300

Gravity, normal force, rolling friction(friction) applied force

400

Attractive Force Between two masses

What is Gravity

400

Friction Forces (Sliding, Static, Rolling)

What is a push

400

Friction

Opposite the direction of motion

400

Force of friction is equal to the applied force used to make an object move

Constant speed/No acceleration

400

elevator moving up an elevator shaft

gravity, tension, Friction,

500

Force that opposes the change in motion of a stationary object (keeps the object at rest)

What is static friction?

500

Applied Forces

What is a push or Pull

500

Normal force of a baseball being thrown

Opposite the direction of the throw

500

Force of static friction is larger than an applied force of a push

Remains at rest
