Explain the frictional force.
Frictional Force is a which resists motion, it causes wear and tear and a produces a lot of heat
Explain the magnetic force.
Magnetic Force is a force of attraction or repulsion between magnets.
Explain Gravatational Force
Gravatational Force is a force of attraction between masses and is most noticable between large masses like the earth and the moon.
