Summary

This source introduces Forces as pushes, pulls, or twists; classifies them as Contact and Non-Contact Forces; and teaches force arrows, interaction pairs, and force measurement in newtons.

Core Ideas

  • Forces change speed, direction, or shape.
  • Drag and friction are contact/resistive forces; gravity is non-contact.
  • Force arrows and free-body diagrams model forces on objects.
  • Forces are measured using a newton meter.
