  2. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).

  3. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single load force. Ignoring friction losses, the work done on the load is equal to the work done by the applied force. The machine can increase the amount of the output force, at the cost of a proportional decrease in the distance moved by the load.

    Approximate force applied by the motors of a Tesla Model S during maximal acceleration [22] 25.5 to 34.5 kN The estimated bite force of a large 6.7 m (22 ft) adult saltwater crocodile [23] 10 5 N 100 kN The average force applied by seatbelt and airbag to a restrained passenger in a car which hits a stationary barrier at 100 km/h [24] 569 kN

    A common visual representation of forces acting in concert is the free body diagram, which schematically portrays a body of interest and the forces applied to it by outside influences. [22] For example, a free body diagram of a block sitting upon an inclined plane can illustrate the combination of gravitational force, "normal" force , friction ...

  7. Non-contact force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-contact_force

    The most familiar non-contact force is gravity, which confers weight. [1] In contrast, a contact force is a force which acts on an object coming physically in contact with it. [1] All four known fundamental interactions are non-contact forces: [2] Gravity, the force of attraction that exists among all bodies that have mass. The force exerted on ...

  8. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    The normal force, for example, is responsible for the structural integrity of tables and floors as well as being the force that responds whenever an external force pushes on a solid object. An example of the normal force in action is the impact force on an object crashing into an immobile surface. [4]: ch.12 [5]

  9. Work (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics)

    The ancient Greek understanding of physics was limited to the statics of simple machines (the balance of forces), and did not include dynamics or the concept of work. During the Renaissance the dynamics of the Mechanical Powers, as the simple machines were called, began to be studied from the standpoint of how far they could lift a load, in addition to the force they could apply, leading ...
