WordDefinition
support forcenounA force that completely balances the weight of an object at rest.
force pairnoun(physics, mechanics) Two forces acting at the same point with equal magnitude but opposite direction, resulting from Newton's third law ("every action has an equal and opposite reaction").
force of naturenounA mighty natural force which is beyond human control, notably if potentially catastrophic, such as the elements (e.g. storms and extreme temperatures) or geological (e.g. seismic and volcanic) activity.
superforcenoun(physics) A single unified force in a theory of everything.
weightnounThe downwards force an object experiences due to gravity.
fundamental forcenoun(physics) Any of the fundamental forces that act between elementary particles; each one is associated with an exchanged particle.
force fieldnoun(physics) A region of space (a vector field) in which a force operates; contains lines of force; a field of force.
newtonnounIn the International System of Units, the derived unit of force; the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one metre per second per second.
fictitious forcenoun(physics) A force that appears to act on masses in a noninertial frame of reference.
field of forcenoun(physics) A force field
newton's third lawnoun(mechanics) Newton's observation that to every action (force applied) there is an equal and opposite reaction (equal force applied in the opposite direction).
pressurenounA pressing; a force applied to a surface.
conservative forcenoun(physics) A force the work done by which is independent of the path taken and depends only on the initial and final positions of the object; equivalently, the total work done by a conservative force is equal to zero when the path taken is a closed loop.
free bodynoun(physics) A body singled out in order to analyze the forces acting on it, such as in a free body diagram.
forcingverb(horticulture) The art of raising plants at an earlier season than is normal, especially by using a hotbed
torquenoun(physics, mechanics) A rotational or twisting effect of a force; a moment of force, defined for measurement purposes as an equivalent straight line force multiplied by the distance from the axis of rotation (SI unit newton-metre or N·m; imperial unit pound-foot or lb·ft, not to be confused with the foot pound-force, commonly "foot-pound", a unit of work or energy)
forcenounAbility to influence; strength or energy of body or mind; active power; vigour; might; capacity of exercising an influence or producing an effect.
strong forcenoun(nuclear physics) The color force, a fundamental force that is associated with the strong bonds, created by the associated bosons known as gluons, between quarks and other subatomic particles.
newton's second lawnoun(mechanics) Newton's observation that the rate of change of the momentum of a body is directly proportional to, and in the same direction as, the net force acting on it. Often stated as F = ma: F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.
nuclear forcenoun(nuclear physics) The force that acts between nucleons and binds protons and neutrons into atomic nuclei; the residual strong force
