(a) is any influence that causes an object to undergo a change in speed, a change in direction, or a change in shape. In other words, it can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (accelerate or decelerate).
A force that causes an object to speed up is called (a) .
A force that causes an object to slow down is called (a) .
A force that changes the way a rotating object spins around its axis is called (a) .
These are forces that need to be in direct contact with the object in order to apply force on it.
(a)
It is a force that is transferred from a person or an object to another. If a man is pushing his chair across a room, he is using this force.
(a)
It is a force exerted on an object when it is in contact with another object. When a ball is resting on a table, the table is exerting a normal upward force on the ball to support its weight.
(a)
It is a force that occurs when an object moves or tries to move across a surface and opposes the objects movement. The amount of friction that is generated depends on how strongly the two are being pushed together and the nature of the surfaces. Example: the force that acts between the tires
(a)
It is a force that acts on objects as they travel through the air. This force will oppose motion, but only factors in when objects travel at high speeds or have a large surface area.
For example, air resistance is smaller on a notebook falling from the desk than a kite falling from a tree.
(a)
It is a force that passes through strings, cables, ropes, or wires when they are being pulled in opposite directions. The tension force is directed along the length of the wire and pulls equally on objects at opposite ends of the string, cable, rope, or wire.
(a)
A (a) is the basic machine used to measure force.
It is a tool that measures weights at their maximum load and remains at that level until reset, it can be used as a basic accelerometer.
