force

Also known as mass times acceleration

AI overview

A force is a push or pull that can change how fast or in what direction an object is moving, change its shape, or affect fluids and other forces. Because both how strong a force is and which direction it points matter, scientists use vectors to represent forces mathematically, measuring them in units called newtons.

Une force modélise, en physique classique, une action mécanique exercée sur un objet ou une partie d'un objet par un autre objet ou partie d'objet. L'ensemble des forces appliquées à un objet a pour effet de lui communiquer une accélération ou de le déformer. Introduit antérieurement — notamment à partir de la sensation corporelle des contractions musculaires —, le concept de force a été précisé en 1684 par Isaac Newton, qui en a fait l'un des fondements de la mécanique newtonienne.
