What term describes the amount of force applied to a given area?
Pressure
What amount of force put on a given material and a machine for applying that force?
you
Which term is defined as the force applied to a machine?
There is no force called effort force.All force are called force. You may heard Gravitational force, frictional force before because that is the name given by the scientist. So if you do not know what is the name(because sometimes there is none,just like your case on force provided by a machine) just simply call it a force.
What is a push or a a pull in a specific direction?
A pull is a force applied along a given axis direction, such as the x axis. A push is a force applied along a given axis direction, such as the x axis, but in the opposite direction., that is, the negative x axis. For a circular rod, for example, a pull will stretch it if applied along its axis, and a push will compress it
How does force affect the motion of an object?
If you apply force to an object, you accelerate it. If you apply the force in the direction that the object is moving, you speed it up. If you apply it in the opposite direction, you slow it down. If you apply the force in another direction than the object is moving in you will change the direction of the objects motion. The amount of acceleration is given by a = F/m where a is acceleration, F is force and m is the mass of the object.
What term describes the amount of force applied to a given area?
Pressure
What term describes the amount of force applied to the given area?
Pressure
What is a measure of the amount of force applied to given area?
pressure
What does the amount of force exerted on a given area mean?
Force applied on unit area gives pressure. S.I. unit is pascal.
What is the amount of force exerted on a given area?
That is pressure. It is the force over an area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface.p = F / A where:p is the pressure,F is the normal force,A is the area.
Why newton is a derived unit?
Pressure is defined as the amount of force applied to a given amount of area. Therefore pressure is derived from force and distance. Force itself is derived from time, distance, and mass and area is derived from distance.
The amount of force exerted on a given area is called?
The Amount Of Force
What is the name given to the force exerted by the first object on a second?
applied force
What is the force caused by particles hitting a certain area?
Pressure. It is measured as a given force applied over a given area.
The quantity that describes the amount of matter in a given space is called?
Density is the amount of matter in a given space.
What is the amount of force placed on a given material called?
The amount of force is called stress.
It is given that force a equals 5 lb and the area which force a is applied to is 1 square inch if the area to which force b is applied is 108 square inches what is the value of force b in lbs?
540
