Blog Post #8

Hello fellow bloggers.  I am back with a new segment of my blog.  Today's focus is on force.  So, this video is of my baby cousin pushing his baby walker.  The definition of force is simply a push or a pull.  More specifically we are going to focus on contact forces today.  Contact forces are caused by contact of contrasting 2 objects.  Basically this means that the baby walker is one object and my baby cousin is the second.  When my cousin pushes against the walker, it causes a contrasting force, making the walker move.  And that is what a contact force is.  There is another force that I didn't cover.  This is called "at a distance force", which is forces that are not touching.  This could be like an object falling.  There is nothing pushing it, however, gravity is acting upon it, making it move.  But I won't get too much into detail about that.  So thats it for this week. I hope you learned something and that you had an idea of what a contact force is.
