_________________ (Gravitational force, Applied force) is an example of a contact force.

__________________ (Normal force, Gravitational force) is a non-contact force.

Force is measured using a ________________________ (barometer, spring scale).

__________________(Cartesian Coordinate system, Vector diagrams) are graphical representations of vector quantities, such as forces.

The length of the arrow represents the ____________________ (direction, magnitude) of the force.

When forces acting on an object are balanced, _________________________________________________ (the object slows down, the object remains stationary).
