Forces Introduction
A force is any interaction that, when opposed, will change the motion of the object. In other words, its an interaction between two objects that can change the motion of either of the two objects. In physics, force is usually a push or pull of an object.
When are forces used in Physics?
There are a multitude of problems that we can solve using different types of forces. some of these forces include frictional force, angled forces, inclined planes, and tensional forces. We can use forces in order to calculate important variables including momentum, acceleration, and mass. All of these variables can be calculated through the use of equations. You can see a list of equations on the Equations and Vocabulary page.
