I've only taken physics for 2 months in my life, so please excuse me, but what the heck is W and what the heck is KE?Snazzy said:[tex]W=\Delta KE[/tex]
Snazzy said:W is work, KE is the kinetic energy.
A force is a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate or change its motion. It is typically measured in units of Newtons (N).
There are several types of forces, including gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear forces. Other common forces include friction, tension, and normal forces.
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is directly proportional to an object's mass and acceleration. This means that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration will be.
Forces can interact in several ways, including through Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object exerts a force on another, the second object will also exert a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction.
Forces can be measured using a force meter, also known as a force gauge or dynamometer. This device can measure the amount of force applied to it and display the result in units of Newtons (N).
