FORCES IN NATURE
Forces
 A force
Is an interaction between two or
more objects at the same time.

In this case the person is

exerting a force to try to
push the wall and the
wall is doing the opposite
force.

Which one is bigger?

How do you know that?
How do you meassure forces?
Newton (N): unit

Force equals mass times acceleration.

How are forces represented?
Vectors: arrows
