Solution

  1. In the very simple language of physics, “force is a push or pull that changes the state of a body from motion to rest or from rest to motion”.
  2. The body at rest cannot move on its own but if a force of push or pull is exerted on it, it moves.
  3. Gravitational force, magnetic force, electrical force, muscular force, etc are some of the types of force.
