-- The door's force on your hand is not necessarily equal to the force of your hand

on the door. If it were, then the sum of the forces at the hand-door interface would

be zero, and there would be no acceleration there to open the door. The point where

the action and reaction are equal is the point in your arm where the muscle is anchored

to the bone. Or better yet, between your feet and the floor.

-- You weigh more than the door weighs. So equal forces on you and on the door

produce more acceleration and more speed of the door than of you. (For the same

reason that the rifle recoils at a slower speed than the bullet's muzzle velocity.)

-- If you were on hinges, or on ice skates, then you would move too. The door's mounting

arrangement is built in such a way that it's more free to move than you are, when your

feet are planted and you're using your legs to keep you upright.

If two armwrestlers hand dont move the force must be what?

If two armwrestlers' hands don't move, the force must be equal and opposite. This is in accordance with Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


What does force equal in science?

Your weight is a force. More specifically the force that keeps you from falling to the center of the Earth at this very moment! It is sometimes confused with mass because weight is often displayed in units of mass (i.e. the kilogram). Mass however does not change when you visit other planets, nor does it become zero in free fall as weight does. But, a force is not equal to weight because a force is a more general thing. In particular there are four fundamental forces in our Universe: gravity, electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Note that it is often the electromagnetic force that provides your weight; it is the electric repulsion between atoms that keeps you from falling into the floor!


Does a faster moving fluid exert less pressure than a slower moving fluid?

No, a faster moving fluid exerts less pressure than a slower moving fluid. According to Bernoulli's principle, as the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure it exerts decreases. This relationship between fluid speed and pressure is often observed in various fluid dynamics scenarios.


What type of force pulls both sides of a beam?

In a beam structure, both sides are typically pulled down by gravity, which exerts a downward force on the entire length of the beam. Additionally, any loads or weights placed on the beam will create additional downward forces on each side.
