Types
Contact Force direct contact between two bodies
Normal force ( n
) When an object rests
or pushes on a surface the surface exerts a
push on it that is directed perpendicular to the
surface; upward supporting force
Friction ( f ) A surface may exert a
frictional force on an object, directed parallel to
the surface
A pulling force exerted on
Tension ( T
an object by a rope, cord, spring, etc.
Weight (w) The pull of gravity on an object;
downward force

Newtons First Law: Law of Inertia
A body acted on by no net force moves with constant
velocity (which may be zero) and zero acceleration
Inertia The tendency of a body to keep moving
remain at rest

Friction
A force by surface on object; if the surface
f =0 but there is still
is frictionless,
normal force
Kinetic friction ( f k ) friction that
occurs if an object is moving
f k =k F N
k coef .of kinetic friction
Static friction ( f s
) friction forces
that act when there is no relative motion;
object is at rest or about to move
f s s F N
S coef . of static friction
f s= s F N f s max .
