SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around understanding nine types of forces for a concept quilt assignment, specifically focusing on Coefficient of Friction, contact force, field force, force diagrams, kinetic friction, net external force, normal force, static friction, and weight. Participants suggest that students should provide both formulas and descriptive examples for each force type. Normal force is defined as the reaction force exerted by surfaces, while field force relates to forces from magnetic and electric fields. Clear examples and definitions are essential for a comprehensive understanding of these concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's laws of motion
  • Familiarity with basic physics terminology
  • Knowledge of force diagrams
  • Concept of friction and its types
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the relationship between normal force and friction force
  • Study the concept of field forces in electromagnetism
  • Learn how to create and interpret force diagrams
  • Explore real-world examples of static and kinetic friction
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, educators teaching force concepts, and anyone interested in applying physics principles to real-world scenarios.

Homework Statement


Well pretty much i am just starting on my concept quilt and my teacher gave us 9 types of forces that we learn well studied and i need help to understand what she wants me to do.

these are the types:
Coefficient of Friction
contact f
Field F
Force Diagram
Kinetic Friction
Net external force
normal F
static friction
weight


Homework Equations



am i suppose to do only formulas? like "net external force F-ma" or ma i suppose to give an example?

what is contact F and Field F and Normal F?

Can anybodi give me examples i'll be realli grateful!


The Attempt at a Solution



i attempt to try to find examples yet it didn't work so i landed upon here :D

Hard to say what your teacher wants, but I'd provide a formula that has that force and write a sentence describing each. Normal force refers to the force that objects apply as a reaction to some external force (i.e. the floor applies a normal force to me as a result of my weight). I'd also relate normal force to how it affects friction force. Field force may be related to magnetic and electric fields? Contact force is probably more obvious than you think.
