A vector quantity that tends to produce an acceleration of a body in the direction of its application.

force
(fôrs)

Any of various factors that cause a body to change its speed, direction, or shape. Force is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction. Contributions of force from different sources can be summed to give the net force at any given point.

Any of the four natural phenomena involving the interaction between particles of matter. From the strongest to the weakest, the four forces are the strong nuclear force, the electromagnetic force, the weak nuclear force, and gravity.

force definition

In physics, something that causes a change in the motion of an object. The modern definition of force (an object’s mass multiplied by its acceleration) was given by Isaac Newton in Newton’s laws of motion. The most familiar unit of force is the pound. (See mechanics.)

Note: Gravity, and therefore weight, is a kind of force.
