Types of Forces Friction Tension Normal Thrust Spring Weight
Friction (Ff) The contact force that acts to oppose sliding motion between surfaces Its direction is parallel & opposite the direction of sliding
Normal (FN) The contact force exerted by a surface on an object Its direction is perpendicular & away from the surface
Spring (Fsp) A restoring force, or the push or pull a spring exerts on an object Its direction is opposite the displacement of an object at the end of a spring
Tension (FT) The pull exerted by a string, rope, or cable when attached to a body & pulled taut Its direction away from the object & parallel to the string at the point of attachment
Thrust (Fthrust) A general term for the force that moves rockets, planes, etc Its direction is the same direction as the acceleration of the object barring any resistive forces
