8) Elastic
9) Muscular

Question 2

TENSION FORCES

Answer 2

Stretching ends apart
pulling the ends apart

A pulling force that causes a material to stretch by pullings its ends apart. This occurs with many different elastic bands and ropes.

Question 3

COMPRESSION FORCES

Answer 3

Pushing that crushes the materal by
squeezing it together

Question 5

SHEARING FORCES

Answer 5

Bending or tearing

A type of force where a material is bent or torn by pressing different parts in opposite directions at the same time. Example: A lawn mower.

Question 6

GRAVITATIONAL FORCES

Answer 6

Two objects being pulled together

The force of attraction between two objects that causes them to be pulled together. In the case of large structures it refers to the force of gravity of earth pulling the structures close to the ground.

Question 7

FRICTION FORCES

Answer 7

sliding
the motion of one object sliding against another

Any force that opposes the motion of one object sliding over the surface of another object. For example - rubbing your hands together.

Question 8

BUOYANT FORCES

Answer 8

pushing up on a object ex a sailbout gets pushed up by the water/ floats

The forces caused by the upward push of a fluid on an object that is immersed in that fluid.

Question 9

ELASTIC FORCES

Answer 9

Someone pulls or streaches a elastic then it slowly goes back to its normal shape

The force developed in matter that has been deformed that causes it to return to its original shape.

Question 10

MUSCULAR FORCES

Answer 10
