Types of Forces

Front

What is Normal Force?

Back

Normal Force is the force that pushes out from a surface, acting perpendicular to the surface.

Front

What is Friction Force?

Back

Friction Force is the resistive force that opposes the sliding of surfaces against each other.

Front

What is the unit of Force?

Back

The unit of Force is Newton (N).

Front

What is the Force of Gravity?

Back

The Force of Gravity is the downward force exerted on an object due to its mass.

Front

What is Applied Force?

Back

Applied Force is any observed push or pull from any other source.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass, calculated as Weight = mass × gravity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is Air Resistance?

Back

Air Resistance is a type of frictional force that opposes the motion of an object through the air.

Front

What is the difference between static and kinetic friction?

Back

Static friction prevents motion between surfaces at rest, while kinetic friction opposes motion between surfaces in motion.

Front

What is tension in physics?

Back

Tension is the force transmitted through a string, rope, or cable when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends.
