Forces

3. Resistance A force that opposes the motion of an object through the air, slowing it down.
8. A push or pull exerted on an object, which can cause it to move, stop, or change direction.
9. A force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other or certain types of metals.
11. The amount of matter in an object, which affects the amount of gravitational force acting on it.
12. A force of attraction that pulls objects toward the centre of the Earth or any other massive body.
13. Force A force that acts on an object without physical contact, such as gravity or magnetism.
16. Force A force that occurs when two objects are physically touching each other.
17. The amount of force applied over a unit area, typically measured in pascals (Pa).
19. Force When one force acting on an object is stronger than others, causing the object to accelerate or change direction.
20. The force of gravity acting on an object's mass, usually measured in newtons (N).

1. The resistance to motion that occurs when two surfaces slide or try to slide across each other.
2. A squeezing force applied to an object that can cause it to become compact or decrease in size.
4. The upward force exerted by a fluid on an object submerged in it, which can make the object float.
5. The tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of motion, whether at rest or in motion.
6. The force that opposes an object’s motion through a fluid (like air or water), often associated with air resistance.
7. A force that opposes or slows down motion, often due to friction or drag.
10. Force When two or more forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction, causing no change in motion.
14. The pulling force transmitted through a string, rope, or cable when it is stretched tight.
15. Another term for buoyant force, which pushes objects upwards in a fluid, opposing gravity.
18. Force The force required to keep an object moving in a circular path, directed towards the centre of the circle.
