Question

What is force?

• A. A pull only
• B. A push only
• C. An effort that changes the state of motion or shape of an object
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is C

An effort that changes the state of motion or shape of an object

In physics, force is any interaction that, when unopposed will change the state of motion or the shape of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes, to begin moving from a state of rest) i.e., to accelerate.
