Forces u. Force - Anything that produces motion or stops an object in motion

Newton’s first law of motion u. An object at rest will remain at rest, uan object at motion will remain in motion uunless acted upon by another force.

Gravity u. The force which pulls objects together. This is anything with mass.

Tension u. A pulling force produced on an object when a pair of forces move in opposite directions

Compression A crushing force produced on an object when a pair of forces move toward each other

Shearing u. A cutting force produced when a pair of forces moving towards an object just miss each other.

Torsion (Torque) u. A twisting force on an object when a pair of forces rotate away from each other. u. Example: u Opening a soda bottle
