Types of forces:

the downward force on an object from the pull of ______, otherwise known as 'weight' is equal to the objects mass time acceleration due to the force of ________

Types of forces:

The property of an object that causes it to resist changes to its state of motion by an application of force. A stationary object will tend to resist being moved, and a moving object will resist change in its speed or direction of movement.

Types of forces:

The resistive force encountered when we attempt to move two objects in contact with each other. The greater the _______al force, the more difficult it is to move.

Types of forces:

The resistive force encountered by an object moving through a ______ is called _______ _______, this becomes a significant factor when we attempt to move either a volume of water or in a body of water.

Types of forces:

The main characteristic of _______ is that the greater the _______ component (spring or band) is stretched, the greater the resistance becomes. The property of _______ of an object is its tendency to return to its original length or shape.

Types of forces:

________ force pushes in on the ends of an object and tries to make the object shorter. A good example is the weight of the bar resting on a lifter's back at the top of a low bar back squat.

Types of forces:

______ force pulls out on the ends of an object and tried to make the object longer. An example would be a lifter's arms in tension during a conventional deadlift.

_______ forces occur when one vertebrae is sliding forward or backward on the vertebrae below it.

Types of forces:

Occurs when two forces of a similar strength are applied on either end of the object in the opposite directions. This causes twisting of one end which is sometimes referred to as a twisting force.

Types of forces:

The internal reaction happening in a structural element when an external force or moment, which can cause the element to bend. An example of this would be the bending force on the torso during a prone plank / bridge
