*[[gravitational force]]: the pull toward the center of the Earth due to gravity (an apple falling from a tree)
*[[normal force]]: the perpendicular force that comes from two surfaces touching (the upward force a person's hand feels when pressing down on a table)
*[[friction|frictional force]]: the resisting force from contacting materials or fluids trying to move with respect to each other (the resistance a person's hand feels when dragging it across a rough table)
*[[air drag]]: refers to the force acting against the motion of any object moving with respect to a surrounding liquid or gas and is a type of frictional force (skydivers using parachutes to slow them down)
*[[tension]]: describes the force felt from the end of a string, chain, or any similar object being pulled. Note: tension is not technically considered a "force" itself but is the result of a pulling force; however, tension is typically referred to as a force to simplify several factors when physicists and engineers model the world
*[[Elastic potential energy|spring force]]: The force from changing the shape of an object is often called the spring force. Usually this term is only used if the object springs back when it released; for more information please see [[elasticity vs plasticity]]
*[[thrust]]: This force pushes jets and rockets forward
*[[Electromagnetic force|electric and magnetic forces]]: These forces are [[fundamental force]]s

All of these forces are measured in [[newton]]s (N). As these forces push and pull on objects they affect the motion of the objects. These forces push through some distance in order to do [[work]] on a system.
