Force - Types of force

In physics, a force is an external cause responsible for any change of a physical system. For instance, a person holding a dog by a rope is experiencing the force applied by the rope on their hand, and the cause for its pulling forward is the force exercised by the rope. The kinetic expression of this change is, according to Newton's second law, acceleration, but non-kinetic expressions such as deformation can also occur. The SI unit for force is the newton.

There are four known fundamental forces in nature. Nuclear forces acting between subatomic particles Electromagnetic forces between electric charges Weak forces arising from radioactive decay Gravitational forces between masses Quantum field theory accurately models the first three fundamental forces, but does not model quantum gravity. Quantum gravity on a large scale can, howe ...

In physics models, the point-like system is used, where objects are represented as one-dimensional points at their centre of mass. The only change the system can experience is a change of its momentum (its velocity). Since the rise of the atomic theory, any physical system has been considered in classical physics as composed of point-like systems called atoms or molecules. Therefore, all forces can be defined by their effect; that is, by the change of movement they induce on point-like systems. This change of movement can be quantifie ...

Because momentum is a vector, then force, being its time derivative, is also a vector - it has magnitude and direction. Forces can be added together using the parallelogram of force. When two forces act on an object, the resulting force, the resultant, is the vector sum of the original forces. This is called the principle of superposition. The magnitude of the resultant varies from zero to the sum of the magnitudes of the two forces, depending on the angle between their lines of action. If the two forces are equal, but opposite ...

The total (Newtonian) force, in newtons, on an object at any given time is defined as the rate of change of the object's velocity multiplied by the object's mass: where m is the inertial mass of the particle (measured in kilograms) vo is its initial velocity (measured in metres per second) v is its final velocity (measured in metres per second) T is the time from the initial state to the final state (measured in seconds); Lim T→0 is the li ...

The SI unit used to measure force is the newton (symbol N), which is equivalent to kg·m·s−2. Force - Non-SI units of force and mass. The F=m·a relationship can be used with any consistent units (SI or CGS). If these units are not consistent, a more general form, F=k·m·a, can be used, where the constant k is a conversi ...
