force meaning

[fɔɹs] [fɔːs] [fo(ː)ɹs] [foəs] [-ɔː(ɹ)s] 
US WForce
- In physics, a force is any interaction that tends to change the motion of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate.
- The original form of Newton's second law states that the net force acting upon an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes with time.
- Related concepts to force include: thrust, which increases the velocity of an object; drag, which decreases the velocity of an object; and torque, which produces changes in rotational speed of an object.
