    Forces can be either contact forces or non-contact forces. Contact forces require physical contact between objects and include applied force, friction, tension, and normal reaction force. Non-contact forces act over a distance and include electric, magnetic, nuclear, and gravitational forces. Forces cause changes such as motion, deformation, or rotation in objects.

    Forces

    ● A force is a push or pull that one object exerts on another through the mutual interaction
    between the two objects.
    ● A force applied to an object may cause:
    ○ Rotation (moments of a force)

    ○ Deformation (change in shape or size)

    ○ Change in Motion

    ● Forces may be broadly classified as CONTACT and NON-CONTACT


    of motion
