  2. Contact force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_force

    The microscopic origin of contact forces is diverse. Normal force is directly a result of Pauli exclusion principle and not a true force per se: Everyday objects do not actually touch each other; rather, contact forces are the result of the interactions of the electrons at or near the surfaces of the objects. [1]

  3. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    A force is an influence that can cause an object to change its velocity unless counterbalanced by other forces. The concept of force makes the everyday notion of pushing or pulling mathematically precise.

  4. Normal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_force

    Figure 2: Weight (W), the frictional force (F r), and the normal force (F n) acting on a block.Weight is the product of mass (m) and the acceleration of gravity (g).In the case of an object resting upon a flat table (unlike on an incline as in Figures 1 and 2), the normal force on the object is equal but in opposite direction to the gravitational force applied on the object (or the weight of ...

    The first use of the concept of a public force, in French Force Publique, is in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789. [1]Article XIII - For the maintenance of the public force and for the expenditures of administration, a common contribution is indispensable; it must be equally distributed between all the citizens, by reason of their faculties [i.e., ability to pay].

    A diagram of Central forces. In classical mechanics, a central force on an object is a force that is directed towards or away from a point called center of force. [a] [1]: 93 = | | ^ where F is a force vector, F is a scalar valued force function, r is the position vector, ||r|| is its length, and ^ = / ‖ ‖ is the corresponding unit vector.

    The Special Action Forces (Spanish: Fuerzas de Acciones Especiales de la Policía Nacional Bolivariana, FAES) is an elite command of the Venezuelan National Police created in April 2016. [2] [3] By 2019, it had around 1,300 officers. [4] The FAES includes the Unidad de Operaciones Tácticas Especiales (UOTE) a police tactical unit. [5]
