1. Gravity: Gravity is a force that acts on objects with mass, pulling them towards the center of the Earth. This force affects the motion of objects by causing them to accelerate towards the ground.

2. Friction: Friction is a force that opposes the motion of objects that are in contact with each other. For example, when a car is driving on a road, the friction between the tires and the road surface can slow down the car's motion.

3. Drag: Drag is a force that acts against the motion of an object moving through a fluid, such as air or water. It can cause objects to slow down or change direction, depending on the shape and speed of the object.

4. Tension: Tension is a force that is exerted by a rope, cable, or other similar object when it is pulled tight. This force can change the motion of an object by either pulling it in a certain direction or preventing it from moving in a different direction.

5. Applied Force: An applied force is a force that is exerted on an object by another object or person. This force can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction depending on the magnitude and direction of the applied force.

These forces can interact with each other and with the objects they act upon to change their motion in various ways.
