What Is Force?

In 7/8 OD lately we have been studying force for science. We have been learning what force is, what effects force has on objects and what is the unit used to measure force. Force is a strength or energy as an attribute or physical action or movement acting as a push or a pull. Force acting on an object might cause the object to change shape, start moving, stop moving or accelerate or decelerate and change direction. A Newton (NT or N) is used to measure force and a force meter or newton meter is an instrument used to measure force.

3 examples of force that we use everyday are...

1. Pulling a rubber band or balloon to stretch it and make it change shape
2. Kick a ball to make it accelerate
3. Gravity is always pulling s down preventing us from floating us up into space



Some examples of force

Frictional, Tension, Normal, Air Resistance, Gravitational, Electrical and Magnetic
