1. Applied Force: This is any force that is directly applied to an object, causing it to accelerate. Examples include pushing a box, pulling a rope, or the force of a motor.
2. Net Force: This is the overall force acting on an object. It's the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object. If the net force is non-zero, the object will accelerate.
It's important to remember that an object can be at rest even if forces are acting on it, as long as the net force is zero.
