A force which (hampers or hinders) retards motion is a retarding force. Say for example if a ball is in motion and you sligtly touch it with a finger then it slows down before coming to a halt.So, you or to be more precise force excerted by your finger is a retarding force .

Does a balanced force have a net force equal to the largest force?

A balanced force will have a net force that is equal to 0. A balanced force will have an opposing force of equal magnitude of the largest force.


What forces is the strongest force in nature Electrical force gravitational force nuclear force magnetic force?

The strongest force in nature is the nuclear force, which is responsible for holding together the protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus. The electromagnetic force (including electrical and magnetic forces) is also strong, but it is typically stronger at longer distances. Gravitational force is the weakest of the four fundamental forces.


What are input and output forces?

Input force is the force applied to an object, while output force is the force exerted by the object in response. In a simple machine, the input force is the force applied to it, and the output force is the force produced by the machine to do work. The relationship between input and output forces determines the efficiency of a machine.


How is the force you apply by pushing on a rock different from the force of gravity on the rock?

The force you apply by pushing on a rock is due to your muscles exerting force directly on the rock, known as external force. This force is a contact force that can vary in strength and direction. Gravity, on the other hand, is a constant force pulling the rock downward towards the Earth, known as a non-contact force.


What are four contact forces?

Four contact forces are normal force (force exerted perpendicular to the surface), frictional force (force opposing motion), tension force (force in a stretched object), and applied force (force applied to an object by a person or another object).

How do you calculate retarding force?

Retarding force can be calculated by multiplying the coefficient of friction between two surfaces by the normal force pressing the surfaces together. The formula is: Retarding Force = Coefficient of Friction × Normal Force.


What is the formula to find the retarding force of an object?

The formula to find the retarding force of an object is given by F = -kv, where F is the retarding force, k is the drag coefficient, and v is the velocity of the object. The negative sign indicates that the retarding force opposes the direction of motion.

How do you calculate HP need to keep constant speed?

It is equal to the retarding force due to friction.


What is the definition of drag force?

If an object is passing through a fluid or medium then faces retarding or opposing force this force is called Drag Force


What is difference between retarding voltage and a voltage?

A retarding voltage is what causes the electronic to shut down.


What is retardation in physics?

Retardation is the application of a force that produces negative accelleration. Synonyms would be braking, decelleration, damping, etc. Gravitational force operates downward (in a negative direction) so, in most frames of reference, gravity is a retarding force.


What direction of friction acts in a direction to the direction of the objects motion?

Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.


Why does a cricketer take a catch a ball by moving his hands in the direction of the motion of the ball?

to reduce the impact, and make it hurt less.It has to do with the retarding force that would be exerted by the ball on the hand if the hand were to just stop it - the force would be high since the ball's motion is stopped immediately. But by moving the hand in the direction of the motion of the ball, it allows the velocity of the ball to decrease in a longer interval of time (and so, causes the retarding force to decrease). This means that the force exerted by ball on the hand is much lower, and the fielder does not get hurt.


IF A body of 1500 kilogram mass has its velocity reduced from 20metres per second to 15metres per second in three secondsHow large is the average retarding force?

What is the relationship between and object's acceleration and the unbalanced force acting on it?

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the unbalanced force acting on it, according to Newton's second law of motion. The greater the unbalanced force, the greater the acceleration of the object.


Is Shiva female?

In Hinduism male means facilitating force (Saguna Brahman) and female means retarding force (Nirguna Brahman)All Hindu gods are made of these forces only.In Shiva the retarding force is Parvati.Separate existence of Shiva and Parvati makes activities that need great effort slow and sluggish. To make such activities fast and efficient the Shiva and Parvati forces were considered as one. Symbolically, this is represent by uniting right half of Shiva with left half of Parvati, resulting in Ardhanareeshwara.Thus, Shiva being half male and half male is symbolic of the facilitating and retarding forces working harmoniously.Therefore, Shiva can be half male and half female.
