Electromagnetic Force

Front

Force Noun

---

[forss]

Back

Force

---

A push or a pull that can cause an object with mass to change its velocity or direction.

---

Example: A spring pushes a ball, showing how force changes its motion.

Front

Gravity Noun

---

[grav-i-tee]

Back

Gravity

---

A natural force of attraction that exists between any two objects that have mass.

---

Example: Arrows show gravity as a force pulling two objects towards each other.

Front

Friction Noun

---

[frik-shun]

Back

Friction

---

A force that opposes motion when two surfaces are in contact with each other.

---

Example: A box on a surface shows friction opposing motion with arrows indicating forces.

Front

Net Force Noun

---

[net forss]

Back

Net Force

---

The overall force acting on an object, which is the combination of all individual forces.

---

Example: A person pushing a box shows net force as the overall force on an object.

Front

Newton (N) Noun

---

[noo-tun]

Back

Newton (N)

---

The standard international (SI) unit used to measure the magnitude of a force.

---

Example: The image shows how force (N) is calculated using mass and acceleration, explaining the unit Newton.

Front

Weight Noun

---

[wayt]

Back

Weight

---

The measure of the force of gravity that is acting on an object's mass.

---

Example: An apple falling from a tree illustrates gravity acting on its weight.

Front

Magnetic Force Noun

---

[mag-net-ik forss]

Back

Magnetic Force

---

The force of attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles due to their motion.

---

Example: Arrows show attraction between opposite magnetic poles, illustrating magnetic force.

Front

Magnetic Field Noun

---

[mag-net-ik feeld]

Back

Magnetic Field

---

The invisible area surrounding a magnet where its magnetic force can be detected and felt.

---

Example: The image shows magnetic field lines around a magnet, indicating where its force can be felt.

Front

Attract Verb

---

[uh-trakt]

Back

Attract

---

To pull an object closer, such as when opposite magnetic poles or electric charges interact.

---

Example: Opposite poles of magnets attract each other, pulling them closer.

Front

Repel Verb

---

[ri-pel]

Back

Repel

---

To push an object away, such as when similar magnetic poles or electric charges interact.

---

Example: Magnetic field lines show how like poles repel each other.
