prevents motion and changes the direction of the
motion of an object. It has both magnitude and
direction and therefore, a vector quantity.

Contact Force -
objects (or an object and a
surface) that are in contact
with each other.

NON-CONTACT FORCE - IS ANY FORCE

 Most certainly, a Physics
teacher or any other person
standing is doing work, but the
work being done isn’t easily
visible. Inside the body the
heart is pumping blood, the
digestive system is grinding
away of breakfast, receptors
are drawing molecules across
cell membranes. We do work
even as we sleep. Forces
causing displacement are
happening everywhere under
our skins.
 “Being busy does not always
mean real

work. The object of all work is

production or accomplishment
and to

either of these ends there must

be

forethought, system, planning,

intelligence, and honest

purpose, as

well as perspiration. Seeming to

do is

not doing.”
