📋Detailed Description

An interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. Force can cause an object to accelerate, decelerate, remain in place, or change shape. It is measured in Newtons (N).

💡Practical Example

Pushing a box across the floor applies force to overcome friction.
