The fundamental scientific definition of force is the one devised by Isaac newton, which is that force equals mass times acceleration. Force could therefore be described as that which is capable of altering the motion of a mass. Scientists have identified four basic forces, which are the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. Each of these does many different things, in various complicated ways that influence everything that happens in our universe. All events are driven by forces, since only force can alter the motion of mass. Without forces, only inertia would govern the motion of mass of any kind. The solidity of matter is a result of the electromagnetic force. Since atoms have electrons on the outside, and electrons repel other electrons in accordance with the electromagnetic force (which is mathematically defined by Coulomb's Law) atoms repel other atoms when they get close enough. That is the only reason why two solid objects do not interpenetrate each other or occupy the same space. Gravity, of course, is what holds us to the surface of the planet Earth and which also hold the planet itself together. Without gravity, the entire solar system would never have condensed out of the cloud of interstellar gas from which it originally formed some four and half billion years ago. Those are just a few examples.
What else can I help you with?
What does a force applied to a stationary object give the object?
A force applied to a stationary object can give the object acceleration, causing it to move.
What is the force applied over a period of time that is required to give a stationary object momentum called?
The force applied over a period of time to give a stationary object momentum is called impulse. Impulse is equal to the change in momentum of the object and can be calculated by multiplying the force applied by the time over which it is applied.
How can you find the net force if two forces act in the same direction?
To find the net force when two forces act in the same direction, simply add the magnitudes of the two forces together. This will yield the total net force acting on the object in the direction of the forces.
Give 3 examples of contact forces?
Normal force: the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. Frictional force: the force that opposes the motion of two surfaces in contact with each other. Tension force: the force experienced by an object that is being pulled or stretched by a rope, cable, or similar object.
How to find the magnitude of impulse in a given scenario?
To find the magnitude of impulse in a given scenario, you can multiply the force applied to an object by the time period over which the force is applied. This will give you the change in momentum of the object, which is equal to the impulse. The magnitude of impulse is a measure of how much the object's momentum changes due to the force applied to it.
What does a force applied to a stationary object give the object?
A force applied to a stationary object can give the object acceleration, causing it to move.
Can you give some examples power from applied science?
Examples of power from applied science include depletion of trees and coal. Additional examples of applied science are invitro-fertilization and cloning.
What are the examples of basic and applied research?
give an example of a basic and applied research
What is the force applied over a period of time that is required to give a stationary object momentum called?
The force applied over a period of time to give a stationary object momentum is called impulse. Impulse is equal to the change in momentum of the object and can be calculated by multiplying the force applied by the time over which it is applied.
What does the force applied to a stationary object give to the object?
"Motion" or "Momentum"
What does a force applied to stationary object give the object?
motion or momentum Motion for A+
Does combining the forces acting on an object give it net force?
yes
How can you find the net force if two forces act in the same direction?
To find the net force when two forces act in the same direction, simply add the magnitudes of the two forces together. This will yield the total net force acting on the object in the direction of the forces.
How does force relate to net force?
Two or more forces combine, through vector addition, to give a net force.
What will happen if two forces are equal?
Force is a vector. So only depending on the direction of the forces we can give the resultant.
Give 3 examples of contact forces?

Give examples of derived quantities?
