    Forces are pushes or pulls exerted by one object on another, which have both magnitude and direction. The standard unit of force is the Newton. Forces can cause stationary objects to move or change the motion of moving objects by altering their speed or direction. Forces can also change an object's shape or size.

    Forces

    A force is a push or pull exerted by one object on another.

    A force has magnitude and direction so it is a vector


    quantity.

    The SI unit of force is Newton (N)

    A force can cause an object that is stationary to move or if it is


    moving it can change its speed or direction of motion.
    A force can also change a body’s shape or size.
