When one object applies a force to a second we call this force the?

When one object applies a force to a second object, we call this force the action force.


The force that a second object returns to the first object is called?

reaction force


When one object exerts a force on a second object the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object?

This concept is known as Newton's third law of motion. It states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, when object A applies a force on object B, object B applies an equal force in the opposite direction on object A.


What is the object move by an lever called?

The object being moved by a lever is called the load. The lever itself applies a force to the load to move it.


What are the differences in newtons laws?

The first one sets the system of coordinates (inertial). The second one gives connection between the net force and the acceleration. The third one postulates than if a first object applies some force F to a second object. The second object is applying the same force F to the first object.


What kind of force does a porter apply to lift an object?

A porter applies an upward force called the lifting force to lift an object. This force must be larger than the weight of the object to overcome gravity and lift it.


What do scientists mean when they use the word term work?

In science, work is defined as the result of a force acting over a distance. It is the transfer of energy from one object to another when the first object applies a force on the second object and that force causes the second object to move. Work is calculated as the product of the force applied and the distance over which the force is applied.


What is the name of the object given to the force exerted by the first object on a second object?

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The object to which the force is exerted is called the "second object" or "object experiencing the force."


What part of a lever applies force?

The effort or input force is the part of a lever that applies the force to move an object.


The force that a second object returns to the first object is called the?

see Newton's Laws of Motion


What would the total force acting on an object called?

The total force acting on an object is called the net force. It is the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object. The net force determines the object's acceleration according to Newton's second law of motion.


What is a part of the lever applies force to an object?

The effort or input force applied to a lever is the part that applies force to an object. It is typically exerted on one end of the lever to move the load at the other end.
