Force and motion examples.

To practice Tactics Box 5.2 Identifying Forces. kinetic friction static friction thrust normal force spring force tension The first basic step in solving force and motion problems generally involves identifying all of the forces acting on an object. This tactics box provides a step-by-step method for identifying each force in a problem.

What is the difference between a contact force and a field force? List all the forces presented in chapters 1 through 22. Which are field forces? Which are contact forces? Which forces are macroscopic manifestations of the electromagnetic force? What does that tell you about contact forces? Explain your answers.
