Bot GPT 3.5 The forces that always change the motion of an object are external forces. These external forces can be classified into two main types: contact forces and non-contact forces.
1. Contact Forces: These forces act on an object when it comes into physical contact with another object or surface.
- Friction: Friction force always opposes the motion of an object. It acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion. It can be useful, such as in car brakes, or undesirable, such as when it slows down a moving object.
- Normal Force: This force acts perpendicular to the surface an object is resting on. It arises due to the physical contact between the object and the surface. For example, when a book rests on a table, the table exerts an upward normal force on the book to balance its weight.
- Tension: Tension force occurs when an object is being pulled or stretched by a rope, cable, or any other type of flexible connector. It always acts along the length of the connector.
2. Non-contact Forces: These forces act on an object without any direct physical contact between objects.
- Gravity: Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other. On Earth, it is responsible for the weight of objects and is always directed downwards towards the center of the Earth.
- Electrostatic Force: Electrostatic force occurs between electrically charged objects. Objects with like charges repel each other, while objects with opposite charges attract each other.
- Magnetic Force: Magnetic force occurs between magnets or between a magnet and a magnetic material. Like charges of magnets repel each other, while opposite charges attract each other.
These forces always act on an object, changing its motion or state of rest.
