The force that prevents objects from moving or slows them down when they are already moving.
What is air resistance?
The force that you feel on your face when you are cycling fast, caused by friction between you and the air.
What is upthrust?
A force produced by water pushing upwards on an object, which keeps things floating.
What is surface tension?
A force that helps raindrops keep their shape and allows some insects to move on the water surface.
What is contact/normal/reaction force?
The force acting in the opposite direction (e.g., against gravity) to the object.
