WHAT IS FORCE❓
Answers
FORCE;
________
Force is the cause of acceleration, and a measurement of force is a measurement of how much acceleration a given mass will experience when acted on by that force.

EXAMPLE;
___________
Suppose Joe pulls on a 5 kg mass, and it accelerates at 4 m/s^2 toward him. (Starting from rest, its speed at each second is: 0 m/s, 4 m/s, 8 m/s, 12 m/s,…)
If Joe pulls on a 2 kg mass just as hard, it will accelerate at 10 m/s^2.
If Joe pulls on a 10 kg mass just as hard, it will accelerate at 2 m/s^2.
And so on. In each case, the product of mass and acceleration is 20 kg • m/s^2. Since “kilogram meter per second squared” is nine syllables, they named that combination of units a “newton.” So Joe pulls with 20 newtons, or 20 N.
Answer:
Equilibrium of Forces. A very basic concept when dealing with forces is the idea of equilibrium or balance. If the size and direction of the forces acting on an object are exactly balanced, then there is no net force acting on the object and the object is said to be in equilibrium.
The direction of the net force determines the direction of the object's motion. When two forces act in the same direction, they add together. When forces act in opposite directions, they are combined by subtracting the smaller force from the larger force
