Types of Forces and Free Body Diagrams Practice

Gravitational force is present when . . .

• two surfaces are in contact

• when something like a rope, cable, or string is pulled tight

• when a spring is stretched or compressed

• when we are near any planet or moon (something with mass)

Normal force is present when . . .

• two surfaces are in contact

• when something like a rope, cable, or string is pulled tight

• when we are near any planet or moon (something with mass)

Tension force is present when . . .

• two surfaces are in contact

• when something like a rope, cable, or string is pulled tight

• when a spring is stretched or compressed

• when we are near any planet or moon (something with mass)

Spring force is present when . . .

• two surfaces are in contact

• when something like a rope, cable, or string is pulled tight

• when a spring is stretched or compressed

• when we are near any planet or moon (something with mass)

Static Friction force is present when . . .

• An object moves through the air

• An object slides or skids across another surface

• An object is prevented from moving when it otherwise would move

• there is some sort of force like a rocket that doesn't fit into any other force category

Kinetic Friction force is present when . . .

• An object moves through the air

• An object slides or skids across another surface

• An object is prevented from moving when it otherwise would move

• there is some sort of force like a rocket that doesn't fit into any other force category
