What force is always opposite to motion?
An example of such a force is friction, but a term for forces that act against motion are decelerative forces.Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, these can be in any direction and may or may not influence an object in motion.
What is newtons first law of motion What term summarizes this law?
newton's first law of motion is; objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it. A term that summarizes this law could be that when a wheelchair is standing still, it is not in motion, the only way that the wheelchair can move is unless an outside force (person) acts on it, causing the wheel chair to change distance.
When did Sir Isaac Newton invent force?
Force is basically a term for any object in motion, force is just a term that describes such. Its always been their, always will, Newton was the first to apply it to gravity, and the acceleration of gravity, along with inertia.
What is meant by the term driving forces?
driving force is the opposite force against (air resistance, friction, drag, tension) it is the force provided by some kinda potential, A car engine provides driving force or in fact any kinda force to keep the object moving
What term is applied exclusively for women?
Virago
Definition of impulse and impulsive force?
An impulse refers to the change in momentum of an object, while an impulsive force is a relative term, used to refer a relatively large amount of force applied on a small object. Take into account relative force is relative.
What is the definition for the term force?
The scientific definition of force is: the push or pull of an object.
What term describes the result when force is apllied to an object?
The object is given an acceleration if the force exceeds the force of static friction on the object.
Which internal and external are terms for two kinds of?
Internal is a term of inside a particular structure while external is a term that refers to the outside of a given object.
What term is defined as the force applied to a machine?
drag or friction.
What term describes an object's quantity of motion?
Newton's First law: When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either is at rest or moves at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force. The wording varies widely, e.g.: Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. What the law says is that there is nothing intrinsic to a mass that can affect its motion or lack of motion. Whether the object is a molecule or a planet, if it is in motion in space, and the sum of all outside forces is and remains zero, the thing will continue moving at the same speed until the week after eternity. Take a walk in the woods and drop a baseball on the ground. If no external forces move it, it will be there the next time the urge to walk takes one through the woods. There is nothing about a baseball that will cause it to move on its own. Take a drive down the road at 30 MPH. If the car blows a tire and rams a bridge abutment, the person will continue moving at 30 MPH until the steering wheel applies an external force that decelerates the body. There is nothing about a human body in motion that will cause it to stop moving by itself. Newton's First Law can be ignored but not violated. That's why there are seat belts and air bags. In short, the answer to the question is that the only thing that can affect the state of motion of an object is a force that is external to the object. • If a force capable of altering its speed by one meter per second is applied to the moving mass in its direction of travel, its speed will increase by 1 m/s. • If the same force is applied opposite the direction of travel, it will slow down at a rate of 1 m/s. • If the same force is applied both in and opposite its direction of travel, its speed will not change. • If the same force is applied perpendicular to the axis of motion, the object will accelerate in that direction at 1 m/s, but will continue to move in its original direction. Trigonometry and vectors then come into play and it gets complicated.
What is the scientific term for a measure of the amount of force needed to move an object a certain distance?
There is no such term, because the distance an object moves does not directly depend on the force that acts on it.
What term describes the amount of force applied to a given area?
Pressure

Pressure
What is a term that describes a push or a pull on an object resulting on its interaction with another object?
Force.
What is the force of an object right as it smacks into the ground?
the term is impact
What is the term for the force exerted on an objects by another object?
reaction
