What is Force?

In physics, Force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull.

A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. It is measured in the SI unit of Newtons (N), where 1 Newton is the force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at the rate of 1 meter per second squared in the direction of the applied force.
