Gravity is always a component, given the object is in a place with gravity
-
Friction
The coefficient of friction is µ, a Greek letter

Newton's second law
-
Newton's second law tells us the equation to solve for mass, acceleration, or force

Misconceptions about force:
"If forces are balanced, the object is not moving"
-
-
Newton's first law
Any object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
For example, friction gradually stops something sliding on the floor. Had there been no friction, the object would never stop so long as it has something to slide on.
Types of forces:
Applied force
Gravitational force
Normal Force
Frictional force
Air resistance force
Tension force
Spring force
This force is the force of a spring, it is a unique type of force and therefore has its own classification

Normal force is the force that is underneath and supports something by pushing back on it, such as the force that the table exerts to keep a pencil on it
The force of gravity, determined by weight in Newtons
The force applied to something, such as me pushing on the keys that are typing this out right now
