the point of intersection of the sides of an angle
vertex
a single vector that is the sum of two or more vectors
resultant
two or more forces whose lines of action intersect at the same point
concurrent forces
the point on which a lever rests or about which an axle turns
fulcrum
the amount of stress in an object caused by a force pulling it in a certain direction
tension
a measure of the force that causes rotation
torque
a single vector that is the sum of two or more vectors
resultant
a vector that produces equilibrium
equilibrant
astronomy is an example
descriptive science
medicine is an example
inexact science
repeated experiments lead to same outcome
exact science
units of measurement obtained from the seven fundamental units
derived units
changes a proportion to an equation
proportionality constant
relies on experimentation rather than observation alone.
