Flashcard: Understanding Force and Its Effects — 9 carte

Force — definition?

An external influence that pushes or pulls objects.

Force — definition?

Push or pull acting on an object.

Elastic vs plastic deformation?

Elastic is temporary; plastic is permanent shape change.

Tensile vs compressive force — difference?

Pulling versus pushing actions.

Force effects — types?

Motion change and shape deformation.

Elastic deformation — description?

Temporary shape change, reverts after force removed.

Plastic deformation — description?

Permanent shape change, remains after force removed.

Force magnitude — influence?

Larger force causes bigger effects.

Visible force — example?

Friction or contact force observed directly.
