As regards forces, there are four fundamental forces in the universe. They are gravity, the electromagnetic force, and the strong interaction (strong force) and weak interaction (weak force). Just the four. This is basic physics, and it is fundamental to understand this foundational idea. Now on to the other applications of the word force in physics. A fundamental concept of physics is mechanics. The idea of force is that it can be used to create motion, or to move things. A force (F) applied to an object that isn't "stuck" will impart motion to the object. The object has some amount of mass (m) associated with it, and the force will accelerate (a) the mass. Note that force has magnitude (an amount) and also a direction (a direction vector). A force has both "strength" and "direction" to it. Motion is the movement of something through or across spacetime. When something changes its physical location, its position, it is said to have moved. It changes location as time passes. Lots of things are moving, are in motion, and their position in space changes over time because of their motion. A force (F) accelerates an object or a mass (m), and gives it motion, or gives it an acceleration (a), according to this equation: F = m times a If you prefer to look at it another way, force divided by mass equals acceleration. More force on a given mass means more acceleration on that mass. More mass acted on by a given force means a reduced acceleration compared to a smaller mass acted on by that same force. Very logical and intuitive, and very correct. Just what you'd expect. In case it wasn't clear, because force has a direction associated with it, acceleration will also have a direction associated with it. The only missing piece of the puzzle is velocity, which is speed (as in distance per unit of time) plus that direction vector we spoke of. Force, acceleration and velocity all have "direction" or a direction vector associated with them. Speed doesn't have to have a direction vector. An object can move at a constant speed as a ball whirling around on a string, and be constantly changing velocity because it is accelerated by the string to "stay in its arc" as it moves. The ball has constant speed, and constantly changing velocity because of the constant acceleration of the string. We cover all these things in the physics topic of mechanics, as stated. Wikipedia has more information and many more particulars, and a link is provided to their posts on force and motion.
What else can I help you with?
Does force have size and motion?
Force has size, which is how much force put into somethig, e.g., 10 Newtons of force. It has motion because force is basically motion, because force can be unbalanced or balanced, and unbalanced causes motion, and is basically motion.
Effects that force can have on motion?
FRICTION and inertia that force can have on motion
How does force affect an object's motion?
When a force is acted on an object the motion changes. Newtons 2nd law of motion states: An object in motion will stay in motion, and an object out of motion will stay out of motion, unless met with an unbalanced force. If a force is aplied to an object in motion it either accelerates, or it will stop once met with sed unbalanced force.
Force that resits motion?
Force that resists motion is frictional force, viscous drag
Is motion a force?
Motion is not a force; it is the change in position of an object over time. Force, on the other hand, is a push or pull that can cause an object to move or change its motion. Forces can accelerate, decelerate, or change the direction of motion.
What is a force that resists motion?
A force that resists motion is inertia.
When a force acts it can cause no motion or motion which means it is a?
Unbalanced force
Does the force of gravity do work on a satellite when it is in motion?
No, the force of gravity does not do work on a satellite when it is in motion because the direction of the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion.
How do force and motion relate?
Force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. Force can cause an object to accelerate, decelerate, stop, or change direction. Essentially, force and motion are directly related, as force is what causes changes in the motion of an object.
Is climbing mountain an example of force and motion?
Yes, climbing a mountain involves force and motion. The force comes from the muscles exerting effort to move the body upward, and the motion is the act of ascending the mountain as a result of that force.
What is a force that maintains motion called?
A force that maintains motion is called an external force. This force is responsible for overcoming any resistance or friction that may try to stop or slow down an object in motion. It keeps the object moving at a constant velocity.
Does force cause motion?
An unbalanced force causes motion. This occurs when the net force does not equal zero.
