Effect of force

Change in velocity

Change in direction

Types of forces

Contact force

Non contact force

Contact force is act on the body by direct contact between them and non contact force is such type of force which acts on the body without any contact.

Mechanical force and frictional force are contact forces. gravitational force, magnetic force non contact forces
