The size of the turning effect is called a turning moment. As Newton's first law of motion states, an object will remain at rest if the forces are balanced. When the sum of the forces add to zero, a body will remain at rest or move at a constant velocity.
Forces can cause an object to rotate and the turning effect of the force is called a moment. If a resultant force acts on an object about a fixed turning point called the pivot or fulcrum it will cause the object to rotate e.g. using a spanner, a screwdriver, opening a door hanging on hinges.
When a force acts on a spring it is stretched or compressed, its length will changes by an amount e from its original length.

Pressure can be calculated if you know the force applied to or by an object and the contact area. The units are newtons per square meter, or N/m2.
An object of constant mass accelerates in proportion to the force applied.
In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it has due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed for an object of a known mass to accelerate to a given velocity.

Specific heat capacity is how much heat energy is required to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1 °C.
The quantity power is the rate at which work is done. The quicker work is done the greater the power.
Stretching or squashing an object can transfer energy into its elastic potential energy store.
The size of the current is the rate of flow of charge. Electrons are negatively charged particles which transfer energy through wires as electricity.
