Types of force

Question 1

What are the different types of forces?

Answer 1

-Gravitational force
-Reaction force
-Friction
-Drag
-Air resistance
-Thrust
-Upthrust
-Electrostatic
-Magnetic
-Tension

Question 2

What is an example of gravitational force?

Answer 2

When a football is kicked, gravity pulls it towards the center of the earth

Question 3

What is an example of reaction force?

Answer 3

When the football lays horizontally on the pitch the grass exerts a push reaction force vertically upwards on the ball

Question 4

What is an example of friction?

Answer 4

When a box is pushed across a carpet, the carpet exerts a frictional force, slowing it down

Question 5

What is an example of drag?

Answer 5

When a pebble is thrown into water, water molecules flow against its solid surface, slowing it down

Question 6

What is an example of air resistance?

Answer 6

When a skydiver opens their parachute, air resistance oposses their motion and slows them down.

Question 7

What is an example of thrust?

Answer 7

The engine of a car exerts thrust, allowing the car to move forwards

Question 8

What is an example of upthrust?

Answer 8

A ball held underwater when released will have upthrust, propelling it up and out of the water

Question 9

What is an example of tension?

Answer 9

When 2 people pull on a rope at the same time
