Identifying the Types of Forces

Whenever an object is moving, there is always this force opposing the motion:

• inertia

• momentum

• friction

• applied force

If an object is moving to the right, this force is pushing or pulling to the left:

• friction

• applied

• normal

• tension

The force that keeps objects on top of surfaces instead of letting them sink into the surface is known as:

• normal

• abnormal

• static

• inertia

The force exerted by ropes and chains is called

• tension

• normal

• elastic

• mechanical
