General
A push or a pull on an object
What is a force?
The force directly applied to an object to cause motion
What is applied force?
A force that is transmitted through a rope-like object.
What is tension force?
The property of an object to be stretched or compressed and still be able to return to its original shape.
What is elasticity?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
The units used for forces
What are Newtons?
The force exerted by magnetic fields.
What is magnetic force?
The force applied by an object with an elastic property.
What is spring force?
The friction force that acts against a moving object
What is kinetic friction?
An object in motion will remain in motion until acted upon by an outside force.
What is Newton's first law of Motion?
The formula for force
What is mass multiplied by acceleration?
The force that all objects exert on each other
What is gravitational force?
The resistance force that acts in the opposite direction of an object’s movement when it is in contact with a surface.
What is friction?
The friction force that prevents an object from moving.
What is static force?
A gas or a liquid.
What is a fluid?
The force that results from the interaction of positive and negative charged particles.
What is electrostatic Force?
The resistance force that acts in the opposite direction of an object’s movement when it is in a fluid.
What is drag force?
Drag force cannot exist in this environment
What is empty space?
A force that acts for only a short time
What is an impulse?
Used to represent the direction of forces in a diagram.
What are vector arrows?
The force exerted by a solid surface against an object.
What is normal force?
The force exerted upward by a fluid against an immersed or partially immersed (floating) object.
What is buoyancy?
Two forces that are related and act against a moving object moving on or through a medium.
What is friction and drag?
The acceleration of an object at constant mass is proportional to the force.
What is Newton's second law of motion?
