Force and motion: module 10: what is force?

A force is basically a push or a pull applied on an object in an attempt to switch that object's acceleration.  An example would be let's say two people were traveling in a car.  The car just so happens to run out of gas on them.  One of the two has to push the car to the nearest gas station.  The person pushing the car is using force.





Equation:  f= mass x acceleration


                 m= force/acceleration
          
                 a= force/mass
