Other related topics

  • Acceleration [r]: The increase of an objects velocity (or speed) per unit time. [e]
  • Acceleration due to gravity [r]: The acceleration of a ponderable object, which is near the surface of the Earth, due to the Earth's gravitational force. [e]
  • Classical mechanics [r]: The science of mechanics, which is concerned with the set of physical laws governing and mathematically describing the motions of bodies and aggregates of bodies geometrically distributed within a certain boundary under the action of a system of forces. [e]
  • Dyne [r]: Force in cgs system; symbol: dyn; 1 dyn = 10−5 N. [e]
  • Force [r]: Vector quantity that tends to produce an acceleration of a body in the direction of its application. [e]
  • Gravitation [r]: The tendency of objects with mass to accelerate toward each other. [e]
  • Kilogram [r]: The kilogram is the basic unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI, metric system). [e]
  • Kilogram-force [r]: A unit of force which will accelerate 1 kilogram of mass to 9.80665 m/s2, the standard average acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface (referred to as gn). [e]
  • Kilogram-force per square centimeter [r]: The kilogram-force per square centimeter (symbol: kgf/cm2 or often just kg/cm2) is a unit of pressure defined as the force exerted by one kilogram-force on one square centimeter. [e]
  • Mass [r]: The total amount of a substance, or alternatively, the total energy of a substance. [e]
  • Mechanics [r]: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Mechanics (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.

  • Normal force [r]: The perpendicular force with which two objects press against one another. [e]
  • Pound per square inch [r]: A unit of pressure in the U.S. customary units and defined as the pressure exerted by a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. [e]
