Force Force Axial pen force is the force component which is the result of the normal pen force exerted on the writing surface. It is dependent upon pen tilt. In the special case of a perfectly vertical orientation of the writing instrument the axial pen force ...more on Wikipedia about "Axial pen force"
A central force acting on an object is one whose magnitude depends only on the scalar distance r of the object from the origin and whose direction is along the position vector from the origin to the object. ...more on Wikipedia about "Central force"
Centrifugal force stems from Latin centrum "center" and fugere "to flee". ...more on Wikipedia about "Centrifugal force"
centripetal force (from Latin centrum "center" and petere "tend towards"). This term refers to the effect of the force (namely, to maintain the circular motion of the object); the origin of the centripetal force can be anything that causes a force to exist. An object can travel in a circle with a constant speed only if the net force acting on it is a centripetal force. (And if the object is traveling in a circle with a varying speed, the component of the net force along the radius is the centripetal force.) ...more on Wikipedia about "Centripetal force"
The Circle of Forces is a useful way to think about the dynamic interaction between a vehicle's tyre and the road surface. In the diagram below we are looking at the tyre from above, so that the road surface lies in the x-y plane. The vehicle that the tyre is attached to is moving in the positive y direction. ...more on Wikipedia about "Circle of forces"
A conservative force is a force which is path-independent. In other words, in moving an object from point A to point B, the total work done is independent of the path that the object took. The term conservative force comes from the fact that when a conservative force exists, it is possible to view the effects of the force in terms of a change in ...more on Wikipedia about "Conservative force"
The Coriolis effect is an apparent deflection of a moving object in a rotating frame of reference. ...more on Wikipedia about "Coriolis effect"
Cornering force is the sideways force produced by a vehicle tyre during cornering. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cornering force"
For a solid object moving through a fluid or gas, drag is the sum of all the aerodynamic or hydrodynamic forces in the direction of the external fluid flow. It therefore acts to oppose the motion of the object, and in a powered vehicle it is overcome by thrust. ...more on Wikipedia about "Drag"
In physics, effort force is the force used to move an object over a distance. ...more on Wikipedia about "Effort force"
Suppose that there are two reference frames S and S', where S' is moving relative to S. The origin of S' moves along some curve in S, which can be traced out by some vector C which is a function of t. The Einstein force is the apparent force acting on a particle of mass m in the S' frame, and is defined by: ...more on Wikipedia about "Einstein force"
A fictitious force is a force used to explain acceleration in a non- inertial frame of reference, such as a rotating frame. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fictitious force"
Occasionally, physicists have postulated the existence of a fifth force in addition to the four known fundamental forces. The force is generally believed to have roughly the strength of gravity (i.e. it is much weaker than electromagnetism or the nuclear forces) and to have a range of anywhere from less than a millimeter to cosmological scales. Beyond the range, the force is assumed to rapidly become insignificant. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fifth force"
In physics, a force is an external cause responsible for any change of a physical system. For instance, a person holding a dog by a rope is experiencing the force applied by the rope on their hand, and the cause for its pulling forward is the force exercised by the rope. The kinetic expression of this change is, according to Newton's second law, acceleration, but non-kinetic expressions such as deformation can also occur. The SI unit for force is the newton. ...more on Wikipedia about "Force"
Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion of two surfaces in contact. ...more on Wikipedia about "Friction"
A fundamental interaction is a mechanism by which particles interact with each other, and which cannot be explained by another more fundamental interaction. Every observed physical phenomenon, from galaxies colliding with each other to quarks jiggling around inside a proton, can thus be explained by these interactions. Because of their fundamental importance, understanding of these interactions has occupied the attention of physicists for over half a century and continues to do so. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fundamental interaction"
Examples of inclined planes are ramps, sloping roads, chisels, hatchets, plows, air hammers, carpenter's planes and wedges. The most canonical example of an inclined plane is a sloped surface; for example a roadway to bridge a height difference. ...more on Wikipedia about "Inclined plane"
In classical mechanics, for a central force with potential, the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector is a conserved vector of motion. It is defined as: ...more on Wikipedia about "Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector"
Lateral Force Variation, abbreviated to LFV, measures the uniformity of a tire. It is measured on a Force Variation Machine and the results expressed in g/cm in Europe or inch/ounces in USA. ...more on Wikipedia about "Lateral Force Variation"
Lift consists of the sum of all the fluid dynamic forces on a body perpendicular to the direction of the external flow around that body. ...more on Wikipedia about "Lift (force)"
In aerodynamics, lift-induced drag, or more simply, induced drag, is a drag force arising from the generation of lift by wings or a lifting body during flight. ...more on Wikipedia about "Lift-induced drag" http://www.shortopedia.com, it's as simple as that!
A net force (also known as a resultant force) is a vector produced when two or more forces act upon a single object. It is calculated by adding the force vectors acting upon the object. ...more on Wikipedia about "Net force"
Pair of opposing forces is a pair of parallel forces equal in magnitude but of different sign. The vector sum of a pair of opposing forces equals zero, while its torque is in general equal to the magnitude of one of the forces, multiplied by the distance of the straight lines of the two forces. ...more on Wikipedia about "Pair of opposing forces"
The parallelogram of forces is a method for solving (or visualizing) the results of applying several different forces to an object. It utilizes the principles of vectors to solve this problem called vector addition. ...more on Wikipedia about "Parallelogram of force"
