  2. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    When an object is immersed in a liquid, the liquid exerts an upward force, which is known as the buoyant force, that is proportional to the weight of the displaced liquid. The sum force acting on the object, then, is equal to the difference between the weight of the object ('down' force) and the weight of displaced liquid ('up' force).

    Simultaneously, the ground exerts upward force on the person ('reaction'). If this upward force is greater than the person's weight, this will result in upward acceleration. When these forces are perpendicular to the ground, they are also called a normal force. Likewise, the spinning wheels of a vehicle attempt to slide backward across the ground.

  4. Buoyancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy

    Buoyancy (/ ˈ b ɔɪ ən s i, ˈ b uː j ən s i /), [1] [2] or upthrust is a net upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid.

  5. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

    Newton's third law requires that the air must exert an equal upward force on the wing. An airfoil generates lift by exerting a downward force on the air as it flows past. According to Newton's third law, the air must exert an equal and opposite (upward) force on the airfoil, which is lift. [15] [16] [17] [18]

    Many of these CES visitors are likely to be shuttled from one end of the city’s convention center to the other via a fleet of Teslas operating in Musk’s Vegas Loop.

  8. Drag (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_(physics)

    The pressure distribution acting on a body's surface exerts normal forces on the body. Those forces can be added together and the component of that force that acts downstream represents the drag force, . The nature of these normal forces combines shock wave effects, vortex system generation effects, and wake viscous mechanisms.
