forces

non-contact forces

contact forces

push

twist

normal

friction

electrostatic

magnetism

gravity

explanation: one object moves another by contact

it is easier to push lighter objects

you can push a chair across a room

Pull

You can pull open doors

Exploitation: One object moves away from another object while still touching it.

it is easier to twist smaller objects

image

explanation: one object spins an other object.

you can twist open a water bottle lid.

explanation: an object moves across a ruff surface slowing to down

there is less friction on smooth surfaces

you can drag a table over the floor and it would curse friction.

you can use magnetism to pick up cirtan types of mettle

explanation: a magnet moves a mettle object with out touching it.

you can't use magnetism on all objects

the earth has a big mass so it has a strong gravity

explantion: gravity is the force of smaller objects being pulled towards bigger objects

every thing has gravity but the objects with lager mass has a higher gravity
