Since a moment is a force times a distance is it true to call a moment a force?

No, a moment is a force x a distance, it is the product of a force and a distance. You get the same moment with a force of say 2 Newtons at 0.5 meter as a force of 1 Newton at 1 meter, so it is obviously not a force alone, but the product of a force and a distance, and its units are Newton.meters in the SI system

Why does the force of gravity do no work on a bowling ball rolling down a bowling alley?
Work is definied in Physics as the Force acting on an object times the distance the object is moved by that Force, or W = fd Since Force is mass times acceleration (F=ma), and because the ball is on a surface that is perpendicular to the force exerted by gravity, there is no gravitational acceleration (a), hence no Force, so no Work is done by gravity.
How much force is applied to an object if 300 j of work is done on it over a distance of 50 m?
W=FxD (work equals force times distance) 300j = F (50m) 300/50= 6 N OK, that assumes a constant force over the whole distance. N = Newtons (force)
How is it possible for a smaller force to hava a large torque?
Yes, it is possible for a smaller force to have a large torque because it is usually located at a much greater distance from the center of rotation. Torque is calculated by multiplying the distance by the force.
What are two factors of work?
The technical definition of 'work' in Physics is (force) times (distance).So I suspect the factors you're fishing for are force and distance.
How does distance effect the electric force between two objects?
Electric force can act at a distance, but is stronger when objects are closer. the electric force is larger the closer the two objects are The electric force varies with the distance between the charges. The closer they are, the stronger the force. The farther apart they are, the weaker the force.
How do you work out the moment?
To work out the moment of a force you times the force by the distance the force is from the pivot. So, basically: Moment = force x distance.
What is a couple according to physics?
A couple is two forces equal and opposite to each other and separated by a distance. The magnitude of the force times the distance is called a moment
What is force times distance equals?
Force times distance equals work.
Distance times weight?
Moment
What does work equals force times?
Force times Distance equals Work
What does the x mean in force x distance?
Force times distance. Or force over distance.
Is product of force times distance?
Force times distance is called "Work" for the purposes of physics.
What is the relationshipbetween force and distance?
Work is defined as force times distance.
What would the force of gravitation be if the distance between these two object increased by 10 times?
Look to the equation: F = Gm1m2/(r^2) Since distance has an inverse squared relationship with gravitational force, the new force will be (10^-2) times the original force or F/100.
How do you find the effort force if you already have the load force and the distance moved by load force?
work (effort) equals load times distance
What is the relation between torque and speed?
Torque is a force times a distance (the distance from the rotation axis where the force is applied). The angle at which the force is applied can also play a role. It is not directly related to speed.Torque is a force times a distance (the distance from the rotation axis where the force is applied). The angle at which the force is applied can also play a role.

What is force times distance?
Torque is calculated by multiplying a force by the distance from the fulcrum at which it acts.
