Homonym: forces (Military)
Forces are pushes or pulls that can change the motion of an object. They can cause an object to start moving, stop, or change direction. Common examples of forces include gravity, which pulls objects toward the Earth, and friction, which resists motion between surfaces in contact.
Forces are measured in units called newtons, named after the scientist Isaac Newton. Newton's laws of motion describe how forces affect the movement of objects. Understanding forces is essential in fields like physics, engineering, and everyday activities, such as driving a car or playing sports.
