-in ‘physics’, a force is any ‘interaction’ that, when ‘unopposed’, will change the ‘motion’ of an ‘object’–
.
(in other words, a ‘force’ can cause an ‘object’ with ‘mass’ to change its ‘velocity’ (which includes to begin ‘moving’ from a ‘state of rest’))
*aka ‘accelerate’*
(‘force’ can also be described by intuitive concepts such as a ‘push’ or a ‘pull’)
(a ‘force’ has both ‘magnitude’ and ‘direction’, making it a ‘vector quantity’)
(it is measured in the SI unit of ‘newtons’ and represented by the symbol F)
(the original form of ‘newton’s 2nd law’ states that the ‘net force’ acting upon an ‘object’ is equal to the ‘rate’ at which its ‘momentum’ changes with ‘time’)
(if the ‘mass’ of the ‘object’ is ‘constant’, this law implies that the ‘acceleration’ of an ‘object’ is ‘directly proportional’ to the ‘net force’ acting on the ‘object’, is in the ‘direction’ of the ‘net force’, and is ‘inversely proportional’ to the ‘mass’ of the ‘object’)
.
(related concepts to ‘force” include…)
‘thrust’
(increasing the ‘velocity’ of an ‘object’)
.
‘drag’
(decreasing the ‘velocity’ of an ‘object’)
.
‘torque’
(producing changes in ‘rotational speed’ of an ‘object’)
.
(In an ‘extended body’, each ‘part’ usually applies ‘forces’ on the ‘adjacent parts’; the distribution of such ‘forces’ through the ‘body’ is the so-called ‘mechanical stress’)
(‘pressure’ is a simple type of ‘stress’)
(‘stress’ usually causes ‘deformation’ of ‘solid materials’, or ‘flow’ in ‘fluids)’
(or ‘sound’ in ‘air’?)
(or ‘ion flow’ in ‘plasma’?)
