    Monika Ahuja was diagnosed with a sarcoma of the left leg that eventually metastasized to the lungs and brain. Eventually as the truth unfolded to her that life is limited, she was unable to discuss with her family her thoughts about her illness due to their reluctance to accept the inevitable, and she started to convey through her songs how broken she feels inside and how deeply she wishes that this suffering will come to an end. She sings songs preparing all those dear to her of how to live and move on in life without her. Such preparedness for death is breathtaking for the author and the rest of the hospice team, and it makes them wonder if they would be able to prepare for their own death in the exemplary manner that Monika is setting. Monika has very strongly reinforced the lessons of life to the author, who wants to pass them on to family, friends, and all those working in health care.

    Force

    Forces affect every moment of our life. Our bodies are held to the Earth by force, and they are held together by the forces of charged particles. When we open a door, walk down a street, lift a fork, or touch a baby's face, we are applying force. Our body's atoms are held together by electrical forces, and the core of an atom, called the nucleus, is held together by the strongest force known to us—nuclear force.
    The study of motion is called kinematics, but kinematics only...

    Introduction to force

    Consider water flowing from a nozzle to a turbine vane. As the water hits the turbine vane, it exerts a force that causes it to move along the flow of direction. Force is an impact that changes an object's motion, shape, or orientation. Forces can be caused by physical contact, such as a push or pull, or through non-contact interactions, such as magnetic or gravitational forces. Force is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction, and is measured in newtons (N) in the SI unit...

    Types of Forces

    In most situations, forces can be grouped into two categories: contact forces and field forces.  Contact forces occur as a result of direct physical contact between objects. Field forces, however, act without the necessity of physical contact between objects. They depend on the presence of a "field" in the region of space surrounding the body under consideration. You can think of a field as a property of space that is detectable by the forces it exerts. Scientists think there...

    Internal and External Forces01:12

    Internal and External Forces

    Newton's first law states that a net external force causes a change in motion. External forces act on an object or system, originating outside of the object or system. In contrast, internal forces originate inside the system of interest and do not lead to any acceleration. In simpler words, internal forces are forces that act on one part of an object and are exerted by another part of the same object. External forces are forces that act on an object due to some other object. Therefore, when...

    Frictional Force01:07

    Frictional Force

    When a body is in motion, it encounters resistance because the body interacts with its surroundings. This resistance is known as friction, a common yet complex force whose behavior is still not completely understood. Friction opposes relative motion between systems in contact, but also allows us to move. Friction arises in part due to the roughness of surfaces in contact. For one object to move along a surface, it must rise to where the peaks of the surface can skip along the bottom of the...

    Non-conservative Forces01:17

    Non-conservative Forces

    Non-conservative forces are dissipative forces such as friction or air resistance. These forces take energy away from a system as it progresses. Unlike conservative forces, non-conservative forces do not have potential energy associated with them. This is because the energy is lost to the system and cannot be turned into useful work later.
    Also unlike their conservative counterparts, they are path-dependent; where the object starts and stops does matter. For example, a grinding wheel applies a...
