What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that you exert on the Earth? Consider your answer to part a. 2. Contact Forces¹: Besides gravity, nearly all other forces we will encounter in this course are contact forces, which means that the two objects must be touching for the objects to exert forces on each other. Normal Force: When a surface is touching an object, the surface exerts a force on the object that is perpendicular to the surface and pushes into the object. This is called a "normal" force (normal means perpendicular in math). The harder the surfaces press against each other, the larger the normal force.²
