Question
Answer
Force   show
🗑
show a force that directly touches an object.  
🗑
show a force that is not touching an object; has a field that weakens with distance.  
🗑
Types of contact forces   show
🗑
show gravity, magnetism, electricity  
🗑
Friction   show
🗑
show a push or a pull force.  
🗑
show a force perpendicular to the point of contact.  
🗑
show force of attraction between two masses.  
🗑
show force of attraction between two charged particles.  
🗑
show movement of electrons that creates a magnetic field around a conductor.  
🗑
show perpendicular to a surface; only works in contact to a surface.  
🗑
Items to describe frictional force   show
🗑
show a push or a pull; works parallel to the surface; can work without gravity;  
🗑
Items to describe gravitational force   show
🗑
show increases with mass; decreases with distance; stronger at the poles; weaker along the sides; typically metals.  
🗑
show increases with mass; decreases with distance; stronger at the poles; weaker along the sides; can turn metals into a magnet; jumping electrons.
