Concept of Force
Force is a push or pull force that causes an object to accelerate. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
Force is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration it undergoes.
Where:
F is the force in newtons (N)
m is the mass in kilograms (kg)
a is the acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s²)
Examples:
The force exerted by a push pin on a paper is the cause of the paper's acceleration.
The force of gravity between two objects is the cause of their gravitational attraction.
The force of a ball rolling down a hill is the cause of its acceleration
