What are the similarities between a spring scale and a triple beam balance?
Both are analog measuring devices, meaning they convert mechanical energy into a numerical measurement. And both work on the principle of measuring the weight of an object by measuring the force it exerts against resistance. In the spring's case, the object being weighed is trying to overcome the spring's tension; while with the balance scale, the object is trying to overcome the force exerted by the counterweights.
When you sit in a chair exerts against you?
normal force
What are the natural forces that affect running?
Drag. This is the force which acts against a runner and is the resultant force of the runner pushing against the particles in the air. Drag is affected by the mass and surface area of the runner. Friction is another force which can affect running.
Why does a man gets hurt more when he jumps from a significant height?
Because it picks up speed the further it drops. Velocity increases the effective weight causing it to have the force of something heavier.
If two objects have an equal mass does a more dense object have a greater gravitational pull?
No. The gravitational force exerted by one massive object on others depends only on its mass. So long as you are outside of the object, its density is irrelevant.
What is a kind of force that gets exerted as tectonic plates push against each other?
Friction
What is a tectonic force?
A tectonic force is the push between the tectonic plates
Do tectonic plates make friction?
Friction itself is a naturally occurring force but yes, tectonic plates do encounter friction.
How can the movement of tectonic plates create a mountain?
The plates push and pull and grind against each other they push together the force goes up and they form large mountains!
What force pulls tectonic plates toward each other?
COMPRESSION
What does a force that shapes the earths surface by building up mountains and landmasses?
It's the tectonic plates pushing against each other, forcing the land upwards.
What is the name of the force that is causing movement at the this fault?
The force that is causing movement at this fault is called tectonic force. These forces are generated by the movement and interaction of the Earth's tectonic plates.
Blood pressure is the force exerted against what?
artery wall
What word means force exerted against something?
newtons
What force occurs where Earth's plates are moving apart?
Tectonic forces (earthquakes, volcanoes...)
When you standing on the floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet How much force does it exert?
Because your feet are not accelerating, the force exerted by the floor upon your feet must be exactly the same as the force exerted by your feet on the floor. If you are standing, the amount of force exerted by your feet, and thus the amount of force exerted by the floor, is equivalent to your weight.
What science word means force exerted against something?
newtons
