Types of Forces

This tutorial lesson describes the various types of forces that objects experience and discusses strategies for recognizing the presence of each type. It is the perfect precursor to the task of constructing free-body diagrams.

All your physics videos change my life, i don’t need text book for physics you have explained everything on video better and now I can answer all questions on the physics textbook under the area you have touched thank you sir

Well done! I love how you made clear that the term "Applied Force" varies from teacher to teacher. For my own students I don't use the term at all -- a push with your hand on an object is.a "Normal Force", a pull with a rope is a "Tension Force", the force pushing a rocket forward is called a "Thrust Force". Thank you for making clear that the term "Applied Force" is used differently by different people.

Great video, but what happened to talking about magnetic and electrostatic forces?
