: The '''normal contact force''' is a [[force]] so it is [[Measure|measured]] in [[Newton]]s.
: The '''normal contact force''' is a [[Contact Force|contact force]].
: The '''normal''' in '''normal contact force''' means the [[force]] acts at [[Right Angle|right angles ]] to the surfaces that are touching.: The '''normal contact force''' is equal in magnitude size and opposite in direction to any [[force]] applied to a [[solid]] surface.
===Examples===

==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
The '''normal contact force''' is a support [[force]] that stops [[object]]s from passing through one another.
===About The Normal Contact Force===
: The '''normal contact force''' is a [[force]] so it is [[Measure|measured]] in [[Newton]]s.
: The '''normal contact force''' is a [[Contact Force|contact force]].
: The '''normal''' in '''normal contact force''' means the [[force]] acts at [[Right Angle|right angles]] to the surfaces that are touching.
: Any two [[object]]s that are touching will experience the '''normal contact force'''. It is usually shown between the ground and an [[object]] with [[weight]], but that is not always the case. Leaning against the wall results in a '''normal contact force''' between your body and the wall.
: The '''normal contact force''' is equal in [[magnitude]] and opposite in direction to any [[force]] applied to a [[solid]] surface.
