Forces
1a push o pull onan object. A force usually changes the motion ofan object
« every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Gravity- an attractive force between two objects
o=@
mass and distance determine the strength of
the gravitational field between two objects
«4g. 2 force that opposes motion (ar resistance, drag)
iction — friction usually produces thermal energy
Lift an upwards force that effects objects in motion ina fluid
Thrust - a force that prope!s rockets and airplanes
Drag- a force that opposes thrust, a type of friction
Weight- the pull of gravity
