Force[edit | edit source]

Force is a term used to describe a quantity that acts on an object to change object's state or to perform a task on the object. Example Force used to push or pull a cart or force used to break a stick

Force's Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Force's Pressure[edit | edit source]

Force exerts on a cross sectional area of a surface of an object is called Pressure

Work Done[edit | edit source]

The ability of a Force to carry out a task on an object is defined Work done on the object . Work done by a force on an object to move object over a distance s is defined as the product of Force and Distance move

Energy[edit | edit source]

The ability of a Force to carry out a task on an object over a period of Time .

Types of Force[edit | edit source]

Motion Force[edit | edit source]

Motion Force is a force used to set an object in motion . Force to make an object move is calculated by

For any motion of speed v(t) caused by a force

Gravitational Force[edit | edit source]

Attraction's Force of the Earth to attract any object toward the Earth

ElectroMotive Force[edit | edit source]

ElectroMotive Force is the electric force that set stationary charge to move in a straight horizontal line

ElectroMagnetoMotive Force[edit | edit source]

ElectroMagnetoMotive Force is the magnetic force that set the moving charge to move in perpendicular to the horizontal direction

ElectroMagnetic Force[edit | edit source]

ElectroMagnetic Force is the sum of the Electric Field Force and the Electric force

Summary[edit | edit source]

Force is used to to describe a quantity that acts on matter to perform a task

  1. To cause an object to move or to set an object in motion . Example to push or pull a door
  2. To cause matter to change its state . Example change Solid to Liquid to Gas
Force Definition Formula
