Compression

Friction — the force when two materials rub together

Compression — the force when a material is squashed

Tension — the force when a material is stretched

Friction acts in the

opposite direction in Air resistance

Air resistance acts opposite to

weight

Up thrust due to the reaction force is generated

displacement whenever an object is in contact with

of the liquid a hard surface Direction of reaction

weight is always at rightangles to the surface

 Contact and non contact forces

when two objects or materials need to be

touching for a force to have an effect it

is a contact force

eg friction
air resistance

when two objects or materials do not need

to be
touching for a force to have an effect
it is a non contact force

eg gravity
electrostatic
magnetic
non contact forces act over a distance
 Weight and mass

weight mass x
gravitational feild strength

g Ning
mg

The mass of an
object remains constant irrespective

of its location Whether on the moon Earth or in

the vacuum of space

The gravitational feild strength depends on the location of

the mass

Gravitation attraction
 when discussing in questions the weight of an object we do

NOT refer to the gravity but to the gravitational

feild strength or the pull of the Earth's gravitational

force
