A lively way of presenting contact forces and non-contact forces, this GCSE physics video lasts 3:44 minutes and can be played from the PowerPoint or downloaded as an MP4.

It provides a description, with visual and verbal examples, of each type of force:

  • friction
  • air resistance
  • tension
  • normal contact force / reaction force
  • gravitational force
  • electrostatic force
  • magnetic force.

A summary of the forces and examples is provided on the second PowerPoint slide.

An extract from the answers slide:

Contact forces

Non-contact forces

Friction:
- Slowing down on a slide

Air resistance:
- Wind against your face while riding a bike or running

Gravitational force:
- Keeps planets in line
- Makes apples fall from trees

- Pulls us down
- Keeps the Moon in orbit
