Q

Contact force

A

A contact force is any force that requires contact to occur.Pushing a car up a hill or kicking a ball or pushing a desk across a room are some of the everyday examples where contact forces are at work.

Q

Non-contact force

A

A non-contact force is a force which acts on an object without coming physically in contact with it. The most familiar example of a non-contact force is gravity, which confers weight. In contrast a contact force is a force applied to a body by another body that is in contact with it.

Q

Force diagram

A

In physics and engineering, a free body diagram is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, movements, and resulting reactions on a body in a given condition. They depict a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body.

Q

Interaction pairs

A

These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton’s third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton’s third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

Q

Deform

A

To make something miss happen or to make something go out of shape.

17
Q

Compress

A

If you compress something you increase its density.

18
Q

Reaction force

A

The opposing force lets say in gravity that keeps you from plummeting through the ground.

19
Q

Extension

A

If you extend something you make it longer.

20
Q

Elastic limit

A

If you stretch a rubber it’s elastic limit is when it stops stretching.

21
Q

Hooke’s Law

A

Hooke’s law: force = spring constant × extension. This is when: force (F) is measured in newtons (N).

22
Q

Balanced force

A

Balance forces are two forces acting in opposite directions on an object, and equal in size.

23
Q

Unbalanced force

A

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. Neither you nor the wall will move. Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.

24
Q

Weight

A

The weight of an object is it and the weight of it pushing into the ground.

25
Q

Friction

A

When a material rubs against another it creates a friction.

26
Q

Drag

A

Air resistance, or drag, is when a moving object slows down because of the density of the other medium.

27
Q

Gravity

A

the force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth, or towards any other physical body having mass.

28
Q

Water resistance

A

The same concept as air resistance, except for with water.

29
Q

Streamlined

A

If something is streamlined, it can avoid air resistance or water resistance by cutting through it.

30
Q

3 effects of forces

A

The effects of forces are: change shape, to start moving, to stop moving, to accelerate or decelerate.

31
Q

Tension

A

If something is tense, it has a force acting on it, making is straight and tight.

32
Q

Normal force

A

It is another name for reaction force.

33
Q

Thrust

A

Is an engine force pushing forwards or backwards.

34
Q

Upthrust

A

You can get upthrust from normal force and water being blow you.
