          This is a picture of a rubber being being pulled by my fingers and my shoe is stepping on it at the same time. This picture demonstrates tension as the rubber band is being stretched and it is being tightened. If I was to release the rubber band it would quickly revert back to it's original state prior to me stretching it out. This also explains how if you can shoot a rubber band by pulling on one end and letting go. The tension quickly releases from the rubber band and flies away.

          This is a picture of me attempting to push down this gigantic pillar. This picture exemplifies the force of inertia acting on the pillar as even though I am pushing on the pillar as hard as I possibly can, the pillar refuses to stop what's it's doing, which is nothing. If I was much stronger, I would be able to force this pillar to move, like if I was as strong as a giant I would have a shot at moving this pillar, but with my current strength I wouldn't have anywhere near the amount of force needed to move this pillar.
          This picture is my iPad being hit by another iPad. I had my friend hold my iPad by the corner and I threw the blue iPad straight at my iPad. This picture is right as both iPads collided with each other. This picture demonstrates collision since the iPad I threw collided with the iPad my friend was holding.
          This is a picture of a bunch of leaves as they were falling from the sky. This picture shows the force of gravity acting on the leaves. Gravity is acting on every single object on Earth, and these leaves are no exception. Every object on Earth experiences the force of gravity, we may not notice it but it's the force the pulls us back down if we jump. As leaves die, they fall off the tree and towards the ground since gravity is pulling them down.
          For my final picture, I have a photo of my best friend sitting on a chair. As you can tell, nothing much is going on, but without him noticing there is a force acting on him. The force of normal is preventing my best friend from falling down and breaking the chair. In simpler terms, normal force is the being applied by the chair that prevents him from falling through. According to Newton's third law, with every action there is a reaction. While my best friend is sitting down on the chair, the chair is pushing back on him with an equal amount of force, or the normal force.
