Balanced Forces
Balance forces cannot change the speed of a body. They can change the shape of the object. The resultant force acting
on a body is zero.
Unbalanced Forces
Unbalance forces can change the speed or direction of motion of the body. The resultant force acting on abody is not zero.
Classification of Forces
1. Contact forces: The contact force arises as a result of physical contact between two bodies, one by which force is
exerted and the other on which force is exerted. For example, force of friction, force exerted by the wind, etc.
2
Action-at-a-distance: The force which do not involve any physical contact between two bodies but act through the
force.

Conservation of momentum
Arocket works on the principle of conservation of linear
momentum.
Frictional Force
Force of friction (F) is directly proportional to the
Friction is a self adjusting force. normal reaction (R) between the two surfaces in contact.
Lubricants are used to reduce friction.
In the game of carom, powder is used to decreases friction
