Forces and Motion
A force can be defined as a push or pull that causes an object to start or stop moving, speed up or slow down, change direction, or change shape. Based on this definition, it is obvious that forces and motion are closely linked. This online interactive course discusses Newton’s three laws of motion, including how they provide a basis for understanding forces and motions in process systems. It also explains the fundamental forces of gravity and electromagnetism, and some circumstantial forces that are more apparent, including friction force, centripetal force, and buoyant force.
