4. Force The force exerted by materials that bend, stretch, or compress but return to their original shape when the force is removed.
6. The force of gravity acting on an object.
8. Resistance A frictional force that opposes the motion of an object through the air.
9. A contact force that resists the movement of objects when they slide over one another.

12. A push, pull, or twist that causes an object to move, stop, change direction, or speed up or slow down.
13. A non-contact force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth

1. Forces Forces that are unequal in size and direction
2. Force A non-contact force that acts on objects within a magnetic field.
3. Force A non-contact force caused by electrical charges.
5. Forces Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction
7. Force The pulling force is transmitted through a string, rope, or cable when it is tightened.
10. Force The force exerted when two objects collide, typically involving a fast-moving object exerting force for a short period upon contact.
