   A force is a push or pull that acts upon an object as a result of that objects interactions with its surroundings. In this Lesson, The Physics Classroom differentiates between the various types of forces that an object could encounter. Some extra attention is given to the topic of friction and weight.

   Mar 12, 2024 · \(F_{\text {net }}=m a\) is used to define the units of force in terms of the three basic units for mass, length, and time. The SI unit of force is called the newton (abbreviated N) and 1 N is the force needed to accelerate a system of mass 1 kg at the rate of \(1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\).

   Summary: Characteristics of Force. 1. Dry forces are complicated, not fundamental. Air resistance: $F\propto v^2\text { for high velocity}\;$, $F\propto v\text { for low velocity}$. Sliding frictional force: (sometimes) $F=\mu N,\,$ $N = \text {normal force},\,$ $\mu \approx \text {constant}$. 2. Molecular forces are also complicated.

   What is air resistance?

   • The air resistance is a special type of frictional force that acts upon objects as they travel through the air. The force of air resistance is often observed to oppose the motion of an object. This force will frequently be neglected due to its negligible magnitude (and due to the fact that it is mathematically difficult to predict its value).

   What is the net force if air resistance is negligible?

   • If air resistance is negligible, the net force on a falling object is the gravitational force, commonly called its weight w w →, or its force due to gravity acting on an object of mass m. Weight can be denoted as a vector because it has a direction; down is, by definition, the direction of gravity, and hence, weight is a downward force.

   What is lateral derailment velocity?

   • Within a lateral derailment velocity of 1.7 m/s, the lateral impact force generated by the contact and collision between the vehicle component-based SGMs (brake disc, gearbox, low-reaching part) and the rails is enough to keep the vehicle staying on track.

   How does a derailment affect the lateral displacement of a vehicle?

   • When a derailment occurs, the motor generally collides with the top of the rail in the vertical direction, and sometimes slides. It cannot help limiting the lateral displacement of a derailed vehicle. However, the friction between the bottom of the motor and the top of the rail can play a positive role in reducing lateral deviation.
