    What is the Line of Action of a Force?

    The line along which a force acts on an object is called the force’s line of action . The point where the force is acting on an object is called the point of application of the force. The force which opposes the relative motion between the surfaces of two objects in contact and acts along the surfaces is…

    Types of Force

    Force is a physical cause that can change an object’s state of motion or dimensions. There are two types of forces based on their applications: Contact Force Forces that act on a body either directly or through a medium are called contact forces. Examples of contact forces are: We can use the muscular force of…

  • Formula for Force

    Formula for Force

    The quantity of force is expressed by the vector product of mass (m) and acceleration (a). The equation or the formula for force can mathematically be expressed in the form of: F = ma Where, It is articulated in Newton (N) or Kgm/s2. Acceleration a is given by a = v/t Where So Force can be articulated as:…

  • What are the Effects of Force?

    What are the Effects of Force?

    In physics, motion is defined as the change in position with respect to time. In simpler words, motion refers to the movement of a body. Typically, motion can either be described as: The Force has different effects, and here are some of them.

  • What is Force?

    What is Force?

    Push or pull of an object is considered a force. Push and pull come from the objects interacting with one another. Terms like stretch and squeeze can also be used to denote force.In Physics, force is defined as: The push or pull on an object with mass causes it to change its velocity. Force is…
