Force - Wikipedia
In physics, a force is an action (usually a push or a pull) that can cause an object to change its velocity or its shape, or to resist other forces, or to cause changes of pressure in a fluid. In mechanics, force makes ideas like ' pushing' or ' pulling' mathematically precise.

Force | Definition & Formula | Britannica
Force, in mechanics, any action that tends to maintain or alter the motion of a body or to distort it. The concept of force is commonly explained in terms of Isaac Newton’s three laws of motion. Because force has both magnitude and direction, it is a vector quantity.

A force is a push or a pull. Types of contact forces include the normal and friction forces. Types of non-contact forces include the gravitational, electric, and magnetic forces. When two or more forces act on an object in the same direction, their effects add. In opposite directions, their effects subtract. Adding and subtracting all of the individual forces this way gives the net force on ...

Force Definition in Science
The force on an object equals the object’s mass multiplied by its acceleration. When one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.

What is Force? Push or pull of an object is considered a force. Push and pull come from the objects interacting with one another. Terms like stretch and squeeze can also be used to denote force. In Physics, force is defined as: The push or pull on an object with mass causes it to change its velocity.

Force is push or pull. Unbalanced forces make an object accelerate. Forces on an object are usually balanced: forces in one direction are equal to forces in the opposite direction: No acceleration. Example: The forces are in balance at the top of this bridge tower.

What is Force? Force is defined as an interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. Force can change the state of motion of an object, making it a fundamental concept in mechanics. It can cause an object to start moving, stop moving, change direction, or change its shape.
