Q

What is force diagram?

A

A force diagram is simply a diagram showing all the forces acting on an object, the force’s direction and its magnitude. It is a simplification of the picture that shows just the forces.

Q

What is force field in science?

A

In physics a force field is a vector field that describes a non-contact force acting on a particle at various positions in space. Specifically, a force field is a vector field , where is the force that a particle would feel if it were at the point

Q

what is friction force?

A

Between two hard surfaces, the kinetic friction is usually somewhat lower than the static friction, meaning that more force is required to set the objects in motion than to keep them in motion. See also drag. The American Heritage® Science Dictionary.

Q

What is gradient?

A

In mathematical terms, gradient is simply the slope of a linear equation (i.e. y = mx+b), where m is equal to “the rise over the run”. Gradient can be determined easily if you have a known change in field value (temperature, elevation, distance, etc.) taking place over a known distance.

Q

What is magnetism

A

A physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, which results in attractive and repulsive forces between objects.

17
Q

What is mass?

A

mass definition. In physics, the property of matter that measures its resistance to acceleration. Roughly, the mass of an object is a measure of the number of atoms in it. The basic unit of measurement for mass is the kilogram

18
Q

What is newton?

A

The SI derived unit used to measure force. One newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram one meter per second per second. See also joule. Newton, Sir Isaac 1642-1727. English mathematician and scientist

19
Q

North Pole

A

either of two variable points on the earth’s surface towards which a magnetic needle points, where the lines of force of the earth’s magnetic field are vertical. North Pole in Science Expand. North Pole. The northern end of the Earth’s axis of rotation, located at 90° north latitude at a point in the Arctic Ocean

20
Q

What is reaction time in science?

A

The time elapsing between the beginning of the application of a stimulus and the beginning of an organism’s reaction to it

21
Q

What does repel mean in science?

A

.

22
Q

What is S.I units

A

The seven SI base units and the interdependency of their definitions. Clockwise from top: kelvin (temperature), second (time), metre (length), kilogram (mass), candela (luminous intensity), mole (amount of substance) and ampere (electric current).

23
Q

South Pole

A

For most purposes, the Geographic South Pole is defined as the southern point of the two points where the Earth’s axis of rotation intersects its surface (the other being the Geographic North Pole).

24
Q

What is speed?

A

rapidity in moving, going, traveling, proceeding, or performing; swiftness

25
Q

What is ticker timer?

A

The ticker timer makes dots on a paper tape every fiftieth of a second. So if a piece of tape is pulled through the timer for a second there will be 50 dots on it. Since the spaces between the dots take such a short time (1/50 s) the ticker timer is a very useful instrument for measuring short intervals of time

26
Q

What is time?

A

A point of time as measured in hours and minutes past midnight or noon

27
Q

What is unbalanced forces?

A

Unbalanced forces are forces that cause a change in the motion of an object. Learn more about how to identify balanced and unbalanced forces through several examples and test your knowledge with quiz questions.

Q

What is velocity?

A

Velocity is speed in a given direction
