장력은 단단히 당겨진 끈, 로프 또는 케이블과 관련된 힘으로 설명됩니다. 물체를 당길 수만 있고 물체를 밀 수 없기 때문에 당기는 힘입니다.
로프를 팽팽하게 당기면 장력이 로프를 통해 부착된 물체로 전달됩니다. 여기서 장력은 물체의 무게와 균형을 이룹니다.
가속도 'a'로 매끄러운 표면에서 비스듬히 끈에 의해 당겨지는 질량 'm' 상자를 생각해 보십시오.
이 상황에서 상자에 가해지는 힘은 아래쪽으로 작용하는 중력, 위쪽으로 작용하는 수직력, 당겨진 끈을 따른 장력입니다.
장력의 x 성분은 수평 방향으로 작용하는 유일한 힘입니다.
수직 방향에서 장력의 y 성분은 수직력과 함께 위쪽으로 작용하고 중력은 아래쪽으로 작용합니다.
뉴턴의 제2법칙을 시스템에 적용하면 끈이 가하는 장력과 상자 표면이 가하는 수직력을 얻을 수 있습니다.

긴장

장력은 매체의 길이에 따른 힘, 특히 로프나 케이블과 같은 유연한 매체에 의해 전달되는 힘입니다. '긴장'이라는 단어 '늘리다'라는 뜻의 라틴어에서 유래되었습니다. 우연히도 근육의 힘을 신체의 다른 부위로 전달하는 유연한 끈을 힘줄이라고 합니다. 끈, 로프, 체인, 와이어 또는 케이블과 같은 유연한 커넥터는 길이에 평행하게만 당기는 힘을 발휘할 수 있습니다. 따라서 유연한 커넥터에 의해 전달되는 힘은 커넥터와 평행한 방향의 장력입니다. 장력이 커넥터를 당기는 것임을 이해하는 것이 중요합니다. '당신은 밧줄을 밀 수 없다'는 말을 생각해 보세요. 장력은 로프의 양쪽 끝을 따라 바깥쪽으로만 잡아당깁니다.

유연한 커넥터는 병원 견인 시스템, 손가락 관절 또는 자전거 브레이크 케이블과 같이 모서리 주위로 힘을 전달하는 데 사용되는 경우가 많습니다. 마찰이 없으면 장력은 줄어들지 않고 전달됩니다. 방향만 바뀌며 항상 유연한 커넥터와 평행합니다. 예를 들어, 손가락의 힘줄은 근육에서 손가락의 다른 부분으로 힘을 전달하며 일반적으로 힘의 방향을 변경하지만 크기는 변경하지 않습니다. 힘줄은 비교적 마찰이 없습니다. 마찬가지로, 자전거의 브레이크 케이블은 핸들바에서 브레이크 메커니즘으로 장력을 전달합니다. 다시 말하지만 장력의 크기가 아닌 방향이 변경됩니다.

Tension

tension in ropes and strings

Tension is the pulling force carried by a rope, string, or cable when it is stretched by a load. In physics, this force acts along the length of the object and pulls away from the objects at each end.

A stretched rope can support a hanging mass because the tension in the rope balances the weight of the load. The same idea appears in many everyday situations, such as a cable holding a sign or a string lifting an object.

Understanding tension helps students connect force diagrams to real motion. It also shows how forces are transmitted through flexible materials in simple systems.

introduction to scalers

Scalar Quantities in Physics

Scalar quantities in physics have size only. They do not include direction. This makes them different from vector quantities. Common scalar examples include mass, temperature, time, and energy. Each one can be described with a number and a unit. Because direction is not part of the value, scalars are often easier to compare and measure.

vector or cross product

Cross Product of Two Vectors

The cross product of two vectors gives a new vector that is related to both original vectors. It is also called the vector product. In many physics problems, this operation helps describe quantities that depend on direction as well as size. The result of a cross product has a direction set by the two input vectors. It is not the same as ordinary multiplication. The transcript focuses on the vector or cross product as a core vector operation students use when working with vectors in science.

introduction to vectors

Vectors in Motion and Direction

Vectors describe quantities that have both size and direction. They are used in physics to show how motion, force, and other quantities act in space. A vector can be represented with an arrow. The length of the arrow shows the size, and the arrowhead shows the direction. This makes vectors useful for comparing how one quantity points relative to another. Scalars are different because they have size only and no direction. Understanding the difference between vectors and scalars is an important...

units and standards of measurement

Measurement Units, Standards, and SI Basics

Measurement units, standards, and SI basics help scientists describe physical quantities clearly. A unit gives a number meaning, while a standard provides a fixed reference for that measurement. Together, they make results easier to compare and understand. The International System of Units, or SI, is the most common measurement system in science. It uses agreed-upon base units for common quantities. These standards reduce confusion when measurements are shared across labs, classrooms, and...

accuracy and precision

Measurement Errors, Accuracy, and Precision

Measurement errors can affect how close a result is to the true value and how consistent repeated results are. Accuracy describes how close a measurement is to the accepted or true value. Precision describes how close repeated measurements are to one another. A result can be accurate, precise, both, or neither. A set of measurements may cluster tightly together and still be far from the true value. Another set may include values spread out from one another, even if one of them is close to the...

rules of significant figures

Counting Significant Figures in Measurements

Significant figures help students record measurements with the correct level of precision. They show which digits in a number are meaningful and which only help place the decimal point. In science class, this idea matters when writing and comparing measured values. The rules for significant figures explain how to count these digits in different numbers. Some digits are always counted, while others depend on where they appear in the number. Learning the rules makes it easier to report answers...

random and systematic errors

Measuring Error in Scientific Data

Random and systematic errors affect scientific measurements. Random errors cause values to spread around the true value. They make repeated measurements less consistent. Systematic errors shift measurements in the same direction each time. Understanding both kinds of error helps students judge data quality. Random error can come from small changes during measurement. Systematic error can come from a biased tool or method. Scientists look for these patterns so they can improve results and...

position and displacement

Tracking Motion with Position and Displacement

Position and displacement are key ideas in straight-line motion. Position tells where an object is located compared with a chosen starting point, called the origin. Displacement describes how far and in what direction the object has moved from its starting position. These ideas help describe motion clearly. Position can change as an object moves. Displacement focuses on the change in position, not just the path taken. That makes it useful for comparing motion in a simple and precise way.

position and displacement vectors

Using Vectors to Describe Motion

Position and displacement vectors describe motion in physics. A position vector shows where an object is located relative to a chosen origin. A displacement vector shows how far and in what direction the object moves from one point to another. These vectors are useful because they give a clear way to track movement in space. The video connects position and displacement to the idea of a reference point and shows how direction matters as much as distance. That makes them important for describing...

mass and weight

How Mass Differs from Weight

Mass and weight are related, but they are not the same. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. This difference matters because mass stays the same even when gravity changes. Weight can change if the gravitational pull changes. A person or object therefore has the same mass, but not always the same weight. The terms are often used in everyday speech as if they mean the same thing. In physics, they describe two different ideas.

acceleration due to gravity on earth

Free-Fall Acceleration on Earth

Free-fall acceleration on Earth describes how fast an object speeds up when gravity is the only force acting on it. Near Earth’s surface, this acceleration is nearly constant for many everyday situations. Gravity pulls objects toward Earth and gives them downward acceleration. This motion is often written as g, and it helps explain why falling objects gain speed as they move downward. The value of g is commonly used in physics to predict the motion of objects dropped or released near the...

Tension is the pulling force carried by a rope, string, or cable when it is stretched by a load. In physics, this force acts along the length of the object and pulls away from the objects at each end. A stretched rope can support a hanging mass because the tension in the rope balances the weight of the load. The same idea appears in many everyday situations, such as a cable holding a sign or a string lifting an object. Understanding tension helps students connect force diagrams to real motion.

gravitational force

How Gravity Acts Between Objects

Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward one another. On Earth, this force gives objects weight and keeps people, water, and other materials from drifting away. It also helps explain why planets and moons stay in motion around larger bodies. The strength of gravitational force depends on the masses of the objects involved. Larger masses create a stronger pull, while smaller masses create a weaker one. The distance between objects also matters, because gravity becomes weaker as objects move...
