Document Summary

It acts on an object, or is exerted on it. Ex) if you throw a ball the agent is your hand. If you push an object, you can push an object giving it magnitude and direction. There are two categories of force: forces that act on an object by touching it at a point of contact. Long- range force: long rang force are forces that act on an object without physical contact. If there is several forces exerted an on object (f1, f2, f3) they combine to form a net force by the vector sum of all the forces. 5. frition- parallel to the surface, and there are two kinds: kinetic friction- appears as an object slides across a surface. This is a force that (cid:494)opposes the motion,(cid:495) meaning that friction force vector points in the direction opposite the velocity vector: static friction- the force that keeps an object stuck on a surface and prevents its motion.
