is one that has nothing to do with a special direction. many physical concept such as length time temperature mass density charge and volume are scalars; each has a scale or size but no associated direction.

is one that has be specified completely only if we provide both its magnitude (size) and direction. many physical concepts such as displacement velocity acceleration force and momentum are vector quantities.

or sun of a number of vectors of a particular type is that single vector that would have the same effect as all the original vectors taken together

this method for finding the resultant of a several vectors consists in beginning at any convenient point and drawing each vector arrow in turn in they may be taken in any order of succession the tail end of each arrow is position at the tip end of the proceeding one

is one whose source lies outside of the system being considered

acting on an object causes the object to accelerate in the direction of that force

an object at rest will remain at rest; an object in motion will continue in motion with constant velocity, except in so far as it's acted upon by an external force.

as stated by newton, it was framed in terms of the concept of momentum.

it is a newton's law that matter interact with matter--forces come in pairs. this is often called the law of action and reaction

when two masses m and m' gravitationally interact, they interact each other with forces of equal magnitude. for point masses or spherically symmetric bodies, the attractive force Fg is given by FG=G mm'/r²

acting on a string or chain or tendon is the applied force tending to stretch it.

the magnitude of the tensile force

is a tangential force acting on an object that opposes the sliding of the object on adjacent surface with which it in contact. it is parallel to the surface and opposite to the direction of the motion or of impending motion

on an object that is being supported by the surface is the component of the supporting force that is perpendicular to the surface

is defined for the case in which one surface is sliding across another at constant speed

is defined for the case in which one surface is just on the verge of sliding across another surface

are forces whose lines of action all pass through a common point. the forces acting on it point object because they all pass through the same point, the point object.

under the action of concurrent forces provide it is not accelerating

is essentially the force with which gravity pulls downward upon it

about an axis, due to a force, is a measure of the effectiveness of the force in producing rotation about that axis.

what is the units of torque

a torque that tends to cause counterclockwise rotation about the axis is

the torque the tense to cause clockwise rotation about the axis is

is the point at which the entire weight of the object may be considered concentrated

done by a force is defined as the product of that force times the parallel distance over which it acts.

the si unit of work

is a measure of the change imparted to a system. it is given to an object when a force does work on the object

is the energy possessed by an object because it is in motion. if an object of mass m is moving with a speed v, it has translational KE

is the energy possessed by an object because of the gravitational interaction

it can neither be created nor destroyed, but only transform from one kind to another

is the time rate of doing work or the rate of transfer of energy

what is the si unit of power

is the product of its mass and velocity

is a vector quantity whose direction is that of the velocity. the unit are kg•m/s

is usually expressed in radians, in degrees, or in revolutions

whose axis of rotation is fixed is the rate at which its angular coordinate, the angular displacement, changes with time

whose axis of rotation is fixed in the rate at which its angular speed changes with time

a point mass m moving with constant speed v around a circle of radius is undergoing acceleration. although the magnitude of its linear velocity is not changing, the direction of the velocity is continually changing

is the force that must act on a mass moving in circular path of radius to give it the centripetal acceleration

is a measure of the rotational inertia of the body. if an object that is free to rotate about an axis is difficult to set into rotation

acting on a body of moment of inertia, produces in it an angular acceleration

what is the si unit for stress

is the fractional deformation resulting from a stress. it is measured as the ratio of the change in some dimension of the body to the original dimension in which the change occurred
