Why can you hold an eraser against the board and prevent it from slipping down vertically by applying a horizontal force?
Because of friction.
What is applying a force through distance is know as?
Applying a force through a distance is known as work. Work equals force in Newtons times distance in meters, and the unit for force is the Newton•meter, N•m.
Applying a force through a distance known as?
work
Is motion a force?
No, motion is not a force. Motion is a change of coordinates. However, motion usually is a result of applying a force.
How may the torque of a given force be increased?
By applying the same force farther from the center of rotation.

What object applying force?

When force is to the direction of motion no work is done?
No. Only if you are applying the same amount of force then there is no motion. If you are applying more force (the object is moving) then there is work being done.
How can there be an unbalanced force on an object if every action has an equal and opposite reaction?
"action/reaction" does not mean " force". "Applying force" is an action, not the force itself. So, applying force will create a reaction, which may or may not balance the applied force.
What amount of force put on a given material and a machine for applying that force?
you
Is exert something about force?
Yes. It can be simplified into applying force to an object.
How do you generate force and momentum?
You can generate force and momentum by applying pressure.
What is the connection between seatbelts and Isaac Newton?
Newton's first law of motion states that any object at rest will stay at rest and any object in motion will remain in motion, unless the object is acted on by another force. Without a seatbelt, the force acting on a person in an accident would be the dashboard or steering wheel (which would cause serious injuries). With a seatbelt, the force acting on a person would be the seatbelt, which will protect the driver from injuries.
What is applying a force through distance is know as?
Applying a force through a distance is known as work. Work equals force in Newtons times distance in meters, and the unit for force is the Newton•meter, N•m.
How speed increase by applying force?
Applying more force in the direction of travel will increase the acceleration and therefore speed. If more force is applyed opposite to the direction of travel, acceleration will decrease.
When a person is involved in an automobile accident what organs are most vulnerable and why?
The organs in the abdominal and thoracic cavity are most vulnerable when a person is involved in an automobile accident. The most common injuries are to the spleen, liver, and lungs. The reason that these organs are impacted the most is the force of the impact as well as pressure from the seat belt.
How can you prevent whiplash?
The best way to prevent whiplash in the advent of an accident is by ensuring that you have top of the line head rests. Head rests keep the head from snapping back from the force of a collision-this motion causes whiplash. Below is an article on whiplash.
