forces acting on you on a stool
reaction
what is air/water resistance or drag force
the force acting on an object moving through air or water that causes it to slow down
what is gravity/weight
the force that keeps you on the ground
what is tension
a stretching force
what is a non-contact force
a magnetic, electrostatic or gravitational force that acts between objects not in contact
what is push/pull
a force exerted to move an object away or towards another object

the force between two surfaces sliding over each other, that causes them to heat up and wear
what is lift
a force pushing upwards on an object in the air
what is the force pushing up on an object in liquid
upthrust
what is thrust
a push caused by an engine
what are the forces acting on a stationary thing
