Physics Motion Object Mass Velocity State of Rest Accelerate Magnitude Direction Vector SI Unit Newtons

Forces are interactions that can change the motion of an object by either accelerating or decelerating it. A force has both magnitude and direction, and is measured in newtons. Newton's second law states that the net force acting on an object equals its rate of change in momentum over time, and if mass is constant, acceleration is directly proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass. Related concepts include thrust, drag, torque, pressure, and stress.

In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object.

[1] A force can


cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e.,
to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has
both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. It is measured in the SI unit of newtons and
represented by the symbol F.

The original form of Newton's second law states that the net force acting upon an object is equal to the rate at
which its momentum changes with time. If the mass of the object is constant, this law implies that
the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object, is in the direction of the
net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Concepts related to force include: thrust, which increases the velocity of an object; drag, which decreases the
velocity of an object; and torque, which produces changes in rotational speed of an object. In an extended
body, each part usually applies forces on the adjacent parts; the distribution of such forces through the body is
the internalmechanical stress. Such internal mechanical stresses cause no accelation of that body as the
forces balance one another. Pressure, the distribution of many small forces applied over an area of a body, is a
simple type of stress that if unbalanced can cause the body to accelerate. Stress usually causes deformation of
solid materials, or flow in fluids.
