Different Types of Forces
There are various types of forces that we deal around us. But all those forces can be easily categorized into two types based on the contact between the object and the surface, that are,
- Contact Force
- Non-Contact Force
Now let’s learn about them in detail.
Contact force
Contact force is the force acting between two surfaces in contact and is further categorized into various types that are,
- Muscular Force
- Frictional Force
- Normal Force
- Applied Force
- Tension Force
- Spring Force
- Air Resistance Force, etc.
Non-Contact Force
The force that act between two bodies that are not in contact with each other is called the Non-Contact Force. Non-Contact Force is further classified into various categories that are,
- Electrostatic force
- Gravitational force
- Magnetic force
- Nuclear Force, etc.
Types of Forces
Forces are an external cause that makes a body move, stop, and increase its velocity and other. There are various types of forces in physics and they are generally classified into two categories that are, Contact Force and Non Contact Force.
In general, we define a push and pull as a force, and force is required for the proper working of the cosmos. There is a force between the fundamental particles and also between the galaxies. All these types of forces are caused by various reasons and in this article, we will learn about the types of forces, examples, and others. Before starting with the types of force we must first learn What is force. We have to study types of forces in class 8.
