senkrecht

The wall is perpendicular to the floor

schrumpfen

the bourdon tube in a manometer shrinks or expands when it gets pressurized. 

etw. ableiten von...   (logisch ableiten..)

After knowing the relationship between force and area, we are able to deduce the logical unit for pressure.

Wagenheber

A hydraulic Jack is a machine used for lifting or moving something heavy. 

Kraftwerk

Oberflläche

The first man to walk on the surface of the moon was Neil Armstrong.

Aufstands-,Kontaktkraft

If two Objects collide they will create a force on each other wich is called contact force.

Actio-/Reactio Partner

According to Newtons third law actio- and reactio partners are partner-forces with the same magnitude and opposite direction exerting on different Objects.

Reaktionspartner

If one object affects another objekt both objects will become reaction partners because non of them can create an action which won´t cause a reaction on the other one.

zurückgelegter Weg

The covered distance of a rocket flying from the earth to the moon is in average 384.400km.

Kräftegleichgewicht

Balance of power decribes a system without any motion. For example if you pull and release a spring you create a imbalance of the inner forces of the spring, therefore the spring will move as long as the balance of power will be adjusted again.

erzeugen

To generate means to produce something. For example the wind power plant generates electric power.

Freisetzung

To release means to set free something.

beliebig
