Force Flashcards
What is force? 
Force is which causes an object to experience a change in shape, size, location/position/motion, temperature.
What is a contact force? 
Contact force are those which bodies involved must be physically touching in order for the force to act.
What is a noncontact force?
A non-contact force is a force that can act when two bodies are not physically touching.
What is a gravitational force?
A gravitational force is a attractive force that exists between two bodies due to their masses.
What is a magnetic force? 
A magnetic force is an attractive/repulsive force that exist between bodies due to their magnetic polarities.
What is a electrostatic force?
An electric static force is the attractive/repulsive force that exist between two buddies due to their electric charge.
What is in nuclear force?
In nuclear force is a strong attractive force which bind together sub atomic particle of Atomic nucleus
What is the elastic force?
Elastic force is a restoring Force produced by an object when it is stretched or compressed.
What is a mechanical force?
It forces that exist between bodies in contact.
What is tension?
This is the force that is transmitted through a string, rope, wire, etc. when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite end.
What is expansion force?
Expansion force is a force found in a compress spring, a squashed material or a heated object as it tries to expand.
What is friction?
Friction is a type of mechanical force that opposes the relative motion of surface/bodies in contact with each other.
What is a Uptrust?
A uptrust is the buoyancy which all objects experience when immersed in a fluid(liquid/gas).
What is a normal force?
A normal force is the support force exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object.
What is weight?
Weight is the gravitational force of the planet on an planet.
