A force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate. Forces can be caused by a variety of things, such as gravity, friction, or applied forces.
Sir Isaac Newton's Three Laws of Motion describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting on it.
There are many types of forces, including:
