force exerted on a spring when compressed or stretched
balanced force
forces that have a combined net force of 0
unbalanced force
forces that do NOT have a combined new force of 0
rolling friction
force that acts on rolling object
sliding friction
opposes the direction of an object as it slides
fluid friction
opposes the motion of an object through a fluid
