Question

question 4 (7 points)
match the type of force with its definition.
column a

1. applied force
2. frictional force
3. gravitational force
4. air resistance force
5. spring force
6. tension force
7. buoyant force

column b
a. force applied by compressing or expanding a spring
b. force applied on an object suspended or pulled by a rope or cable
c. force applied to an object by a fluid (ex. water)
d. fluid friction applied as an object moves through air
e. force from two surfaces in contact with one another
f. force applied by a person or object
g. field force that pulls two objects together

Explanation:

1. Applied force is exerted by a person or object, so 1 - f.
2. Frictional force is from two surfaces in contact, so 2 - e.
3. Gravitational force is a field - force that pulls two objects together, so 3 - g.
4. Air resistance force is fluid friction as an object moves through air, so 4 - d.
5. Spring force is applied by compressing or expanding a spring, so 5 - a.
6. Tension force is on an object suspended or pulled by a rope or cable, so 6 - b.
7. Buoyant force is applied to an object by a fluid, so 7 - c.

Answer:

1. f. Force applied by a person or object
2. e. Force from two surfaces in contact with one another
3. g. Field force that pulls two objects together
4. d. Fluid friction applied as an object moves through air
5. a. Force applied by compressing or expanding a spring
6. b. Force applied on an object suspended or pulled by a rope or cable
7. c. Force applied to an object by a fluid (ex. water)
