Overview
This lecture covers fundamental physics concepts including force, its definition, and relevant measurement units.
Force
- Force is any influence that tends to accelerate an object.
- It can be described as a push or a pull acting on an object.
- Force is measured in Newtons (N).
Key Terms & Definitions
- Force — any influence that tends to accelerate an object, causing motion; measured in Newtons (N).
- Newton (N) — the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).
Action Items / Next Steps
- Review the definition and examples of force.
- Practice identifying forces in everyday situations.
