Question

select the correct answer. which kind of force do you exert on an object when you pull it toward you? a. applied force b. attractive force c. drag force d. normal force

Explanation:

• Applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. When you pull an object toward you, you are applying a force on it.
• Attractive force is a force that attracts two objects towards each other (e.g., gravitational force between two masses, electrostatic force between opposite charges). Here, it's a direct pull (applied) not an inherent attraction like in non - contact forces.
• Drag force is a force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid (like air or water).
• Normal force is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it, perpendicular to the surface.

Answer:

A. applied force
