Description : What does applying a Force do? 

Last Answer : Force causes acceleration Newton's Second Law states that: the acceleration (a) of an object is directly proportional to the force (F) applied, and inversely proportional the object's mass (m). ... object, the greater the acceleration. And, the more mass the object has, the lower the acceleration.

Description : What is Force?

Last Answer : We define Force as: 1) Force is a push or pull. 2) Force is the capacity to do work or cause physical change. 3) Force= Mass times acceleration (F = ma) 4) A force is that ... force acting on an object. 10 Newtons, downwards is a complete description of the force acting upon an object.

Description : State principle of transmissibility of force.

Last Answer : Principle of Transmissibility of Force: It states that if a force acts at a point on a rigid body, it is assumed to act at any other point on the line of action of force within the same body. 

Description : Define force and state its effects.

Last Answer : Force: It is an external agency either push or pull which changes or tends to change the state of rest or of uniform motion of a body, upon which it acts. Effects of force : i) It may change the state ... It may turn or rotate the body on which it acts. iv) It may deform the body on which it acts.

Description : State characteristics of force.

Last Answer : i) Magnitude: The quantity of force e.g. 10 N, 100 kN etc.  ii) Direction: It is the line along which the force acts. It is also called as line of action of the force.  iii) Point of ... .  Push: If the arrow head is pointed towards the point of application, the nature of the force is push.

Last Answer : Magnetomotive force formula

Description : Define magnetic lines of force. Also draw and show magnetic lines of force of a bar type magnet.

Last Answer : Magnetic Lines of force- These are the imaginary lines (having no physical existence) introduced by Faraday for the pictorial representation of the distribution of a magnetic field.  OR  A line of ... that the tangent at any point gives direction of the resultant force at that point. 

Description : Define magnetic lines of force. Show the magnetic lines of force for bar type magnet.

Last Answer : Magnetic linens of force is the imaginary lines for magnetic field of magnet around it. These magnetic lines of forces are introduced by Michael Faraday. The direction of lines of force is from N-pole to S-pole. The figure shows lines of force for bar type magnet.

Description : Which of the following is the name given to the lines of electric force which move so that its beginning traces a closed curve on a positive surface and its end traces a corresponding closed curve on the negative surface? A) Tube of surface B) Tube of lines C) Tube of force D) Tube of electricity

Last Answer : Which of the following is the name given to the lines of electric force which move so that its beginning traces a closed curve on a positive surface and its end traces a corresponding closed curve on the negative ... A) Tube of surface B) Tube of lines C) Tube of force D) Tube of electricity

Description : A field of force can exist only between?

Last Answer : A field of force can exist only between two ions.

Description : A single force and a couple acting in the same plane upon a rigid body?

Last Answer : A single force and a couple acting in the same plane upon a rigid body cannot balance each other.

Description : Limiting force of friction is the?

Last Answer : Limiting force of friction is the friction force acting when the body is just about to move.

Description : Frictional force encountered after commencement of motion is called?

Last Answer : Frictional force encountered after commencement of motion is called dynamic friction.

Description : On the ladder resting on the ground and leaning against a smooth vertical wall, the force of friction will be?

Last Answer : On the ladder resting on the ground and leaning against a smooth vertical wall, the force of friction will be zero at its upper end.
