Contact forces
-friction
-air resistance
-tension
-normal reaction
Non-contact forces
-electrostatic
-magnetic
-gravitational
Scale diagrams
A single force can be resolved into two component forces which are acting perpendicular to one another. Use a protractor to measure the angle and ALWAYS connect nose to tail
Equilibrium scale diagrams
When forces are acting on an object in equilibrium, if we connect them together from nose to tail, they will form a closed shape
