Solution

  1. Force: Force is defined as any effort that changes the state of motion or shape of an object.
  2. The newton is the SI unit of force, represented by the symbol N.
  3. According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal as well as opposite reaction.
  4. Therefore, we exert a force on the ground when stepping or walking, which enables the ground to produce a reaction force to our foot, permitting us to go forward.
