Forces

    Cards (17)

    • Weight is the force that acts on an object due to gravity
    • Friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another
    • Drag is the force that resists the relative motion of an object moving through a fluid such as air or water
    • Air resistance is the force acting on an object that is moving through air flowing in opposite direction
    • Tencion is the force transmitted through a rope or wire when pulled by forces
    • Electrostatic force is the attractive or repulsive force between two charged objects
    • Magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion that arises between electrical charged particles of their motion
    • Thrust is the force that pushes an object forward by expelling or accelerating mass in opposite direction
    • Contact force is a force that is applied by objects in contact with each other
    • Newton's first law: if no net force acts on a body, the body continues to maintain its initial state of rest or motion with constant speed
    • Newton's second law: if a force act on a body then the body accelerates in the direction of the force and the net force is the product of mass of the body and the acceleration
    • Newton's third law: when object A exert a force, then the object B exerts equal and opposite reaction
    • Resultant force = mass × acceleration
    • Acceleration= resultant force/mass
    • Frictional force is its effect are felt when 2 bodies are in contact with each other
    • Elastic deformation is when the object returns to its original shape after the force is remove
    • Factors affecting centripetal force:speed, radius, mass
