LAW OF INTERACTION

Cards (19)

  • Law of Interaction
    For every ACTION, there is an equal and opposite REACTION.
  • The size of the forces on the first object EQUALS the size of the force on the second object.
  • The direction of the force on the first object is OPPOSITE to the direction of the force on the second object
  • The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force on in it and inversely proportional to its mass.
  • Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with time.
  • Acceleration
    It is a vector quantity having both magnitude and direction
  • Applied Force

    It is as force applied to an object by a person or another object
  • Contact force

    It is the force formed when two bodies are in direct contact with each other
  • Normal force

    An everyday force that is felt when a surface pushes against an object that is placed on a surface
  • Frictional force 

    Exerted by a surface as an object moves across it to or makes an effort to move (directed opposite the object's motion)
  • Tensional force

    Transmitted through a string, rope, cable, etc. when its pulled tight
  • Spring force

    Exerted by a compress or stretched spring that acts to restore the object to its original (weight of the spring)
  • Non-contact force

    No physical contact and there's no need for human intervention
  • Gravitational force

    A big heavenly body attracts smaller bodies toward itself
  • Electrical force

    It can be defined as the attractive or repulsive force that is exerted between the poles of a m,agent and electrically charges moving particles
  • Electrostatic force

    Attractive or repulsive forces between particles that are caused by their electric charges
  • Magnetic force 

    Exerted between the poles of a magnet and electrically charges moving particles
  • Nuclear force

    Attractive force that holds the protons and neutrons of an atom together
  • Force
    A push or pull exerted by one body on another body
