The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. Friction is a force that occurs when two surfaces come into contact and slide or try to slide against each other. It acts opposite to the direction of motion or the applied force, effectively resisting the movement. The amount of friction depends on factors such as the … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. An unbalanced force, often encountered in everyday scenarios, is a force that leads to a change in an object’s motion. Unlike balanced forces, unbalanced forces do not offset or cancel each other out. Instead, they create a net force that acts on the object and causes it … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. A balanced force describes a scenario where forces acting on an object are equal in magnitude but act in opposite directions. This balance between the forces leads to a state of stability, where the object remains motionless or maintains constant velocity. An excellent example that demonstrates balanced … Read more

Newton’s third law states that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object simultaneously exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first object. This law implies that forces always occur in pairs, and the nature of … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. Newton’s second law of motion, formulated by Sir Isaac Newton, describes the relationship between the acceleration of an object, the force applied to it, and its mass. According to this law, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force exerted on it and inversely … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. Newton’s first law, also referred to as the law of inertia, asserts that an object will persist in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless influenced by an external force. Put simply, in the absence of unbalanced forces, an object will either … Read more

A frame of reference, also referred to as a reference frame, is a conceptual framework used to establish a coordinate system and a set of reference points. Its purpose is to provide a standardized means of measuring and describing the position, velocity, and other characteristics of objects … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. Magnetic force is the attractive or repulsive force exerted between magnets or magnetic materials. For example, when a magnet is brought close to a collection of iron balls, the magnetic force causes the balls to be attracted towards the magnet. This phenomenon demonstrates the ability of magnetic … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. Mechanical force refers to the external influence or push/pull exerted on an object that can cause it to change its state of motion or shape. It is the result of physical interactions between objects. Take, for instance, pushing a car to make it move. This applied force … Read more

Muscular force, often referred to as muscular strength, is the physical power exerted by muscles to perform various actions, such as lifting, pushing, or pulling objects. It results from the contraction of muscles and is vital for human mobility and functionality. In practical terms, it is the … Read more
