Definition

Force is a push or pull that can change the motion of an object. It is measured in Newtons (N).

Sum of the forces = mass * acceleration tells you that the direction of the force and acceleration vectors are
A 10 kg mass is falling with air resistance. Calculate the force from air resistance once the object reaches terminal velocity.
A student plots a graph modeling the force applied on a toy car (assume frictionless surface) vs the horizontal displacement travelled. How can the work done on the car be determined graphically?
A force is applied to a 5 kg cart for 2s, causing it to accelerate from 2m/s to 10m/s. What is the average magnitude of the force?
A student conducts an experiment and creates a graph of Force (N) vs. Time (s). How would the student be able to find the impulse of the object from the graph?
A 4 kg object is moving with an initial velocity of 3 m/s. If a 8 N force is applied to the box, how long will it take for the box to reach a velocity of 6 m/s?
