  • forces on a body have the same effect equal to their sum

    C4-1 Similar to we can regard projectile motion as a combination of constant horizontal and accelerated vertical motion.

  • Newton_s laws of motion

    C4-1 KeyConcept Stated in Principia Mathematica The Laws Newton’s first law of motion (glass ketchup bottles) When the net force on a body is zero, then its motion does not change.

  • superposition of forces

    C4-1 KeyConcept Superposition forces on a body have the same effect equal to their sum So a resultant force has the formula $$\vec{R} = \sum_{i=1}^n {F_i}$$ Note that this implies that forces can be written as the superposition of their component values.

  • tension force

    C4-1 Definition A pulling exerted on an object by a rope, cord, etc. often mechanical system constraints.

  • long-range force

    C4-1 It is useful to describe these as a field tidal forces gravitational interaction weight Canonical Hub: CANONICAL_INDEX.

  • force

    C1-7 C4-1 KeyConcept Definition An interaction between two bodies, or a body and its environment.

  • dissipative force

    C4-1 A type of force that produces thermal energy, into an external physical systems. Some examples include friction force.

  • contact force

    C4-1 The following forces constitute contact forces: normal force friction force tension force Hooke’s law thrust force Canonical Hub: CANONICAL_INDEX.

  • what causes motion, or causality

    C4-1 force causes motion Canonical Hub: CANONICAL_INDEX.

  • spring balance

    C4-1 Definition A coil with a pointer that stretches a certain amount depending on the force exerted, and markings to indicate how much force is exerted.

  • newton

    C4-1 A unit measuring force Canonical Hub: CANONICAL_INDEX.
