|
Force
|
A vector quantitiy that tends to produce an acceleration of a body in the direction of its application.
F = m*a |
|
Applied Force
|
A force tht is applied to an object by a person or another object.
For example, if a person is pushing a heavy crate across the floor, then the person is applying a force that is acting upon the object |
|
Gravity Force
|
That force of gravity is the force by which the Earth, moon, or other massively large object attracts another object toward itself.
Earth's Gravity is 9.81m/s |
|
Normal Force
aka Balanced Force |
When two or more forces act so that their combination cancels each other out, we have equilibrium, which is a condition where there is no net force and the velocity of an object doesn't change.
|
|
Friction Force
|
The force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. It opposes the motion of the object.
|
|
Air Resistance Force
|
Acts upon objects as they move through the air.
|
|
Spring Force
|
The force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring upon any object that is atteched to it.
|
|
Tensional Force
|
When tension is transmitted through a string, rope, or wire pulled tight by forces acting from each end. The force is the amount of tension directed along the string, rope, or wire, and pulls equally on the obects on either end.
|
|
Elastic Recoil Force
|
Solid matter has a specific shape. Solids resit changes in shape, and by doing so, exert a force in opposition to any applied force.
|
|
Buoyancy Force
|
A force that acts "upwards" on any object submerged in a gas or liquid.
|
|
Magnetic Force
|
Magnets produce a force that strongly attracts ferromagnetic materials. When two magnets or magnetic objects are close to each other, there is a force that attracts the opposite poles together (and pushes like poles apart).
|
|
Static Electricity Force
|
A force of electrical charges buily up on the surface of a material. No current is flowing.
|
|
Newton's First Law of Motion
|
Inertia
Every object remains in a state of rest / every object remains in mortion until a force acts upon it to change its state |
|
Newton's Second Law of Motion
|
F = ma
|
|
Newton's Third Law of Motion
|
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
