Contact force - Types of forces when two objects physically touch, Frictional force - The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another, Reaction force - The force exerted upward on an object to oppose its weight, Drag - A force opposing movement of objects when they are in fluids (liquids or gases), Propulsion - A force that is applied to an object by a person or any other object, e.g. thrust from jet gases, Air resistance - A drag force that opposes movement of objects in air. often opposing gravity, Non-contact force - Types of forces that occur when two interacting objects are not in physical contact with each other, Gravitational force - The force by which the Earth or Moon or other massive objects attract another object towards them, Magnetic force - A push or pull force exerted by a magnet, Buoyancy - Upward force exerted on an object in a fluid, Surface tension - Force on liquids arising from the attraction between its particles, Electrostatic force - Attractive or repulsive force between two electrically charged objects,
