2. Force Concept Inventory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_Concept_Inventory

   The Force Concept Inventory is a test measuring mastery of concepts commonly taught in a first semester of physics developed by Hestenes, Halloun, Wells, and Swackhamer (1985). It was the first such " concept inventory " and several others have been developed since for a variety of topics.

3. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

   Also, the test tube confines motion to the direction down the length of the tube, so v B is opposite to u 1 and the Coriolis force is opposite to u 2, that is, against the wall of the tube. If the tube is spun for a long enough time, the velocity v B drops to zero as the matter comes to an equilibrium distribution.

4. Force - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

   In such a situation, a force is applied in the direction of motion while the kinetic friction force exactly opposes the applied force. This results in zero net force, but since the object started with a non-zero velocity, it continues to move with a non-zero velocity. Aristotle misinterpreted this motion as being caused by the applied force.

5. Non-inertial reference frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-inertial_reference_frame

   In classical mechanics it is often possible to explain the motion of bodies in non-inertial reference frames by introducing additional fictitious forces (also called inertial forces, pseudo-forces, [5] and d'Alembert forces) to Newton's second law. Common examples of this include the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force.

   For example, in 1742, Émilie du Châtelet wrote, "Dead force consists of a simple tendency to motion: such is that of a spring ready to relax; living force is that which a body has when it is in actual motion." In modern terminology, "dead force" and "living force" correspond to potential energy and kinetic energy respectively. [136]

8. Tension (physics) - Wikipedia

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

   Tension (as a transmitted force, as an action-reaction pair of forces, or as a restoring force) is measured in newtons in the International System of Units (or pounds-force in Imperial units). The ends of a string or other object transmitting tension will exert forces on the objects to which the string or rod is connected, in the direction of ...
