Question 9 • Lifetime Fitness (semester)

Describe the four main types of resistance forces.

Answer

Answer:

The four main resistance forces are objects with mass, inertia, and momentum; friction; gravity; and air resistance. Objects with mass are able to provide resistance by colliding with other objects. Friction slows objects down by providing a steady resistance when the objects are in contact with and rubbing against a surface. Gravity provides a steady downward pull towards the center of Earth's mass. Air resistance is the cumulative force provided by millions of oxygen atoms being displaced.
