Solution

Force:

  1. A force is defined as pushing or pulling action that causes objects to move, change direction, or change shape.
  2. When a force is applied to an object, it frequently causes it to move faster or in a different direction.
  3. Everything on Earth has weight due to the gravity of the Earth.
  4. Gravity is a force that pulls everything toward Earth's center. Gravity is holding the pebble and the boulder in place while you try to throw them. Gravity is a force that opposes your force.
  5. The Newton is the unit of force, and a force of 1N is defined as the force that produces an acceleration of 1m/s2 when applied to an object with a mass of 1kg.

Motion:

  1. Moving something from one location to another is referred to as motion. They moved from one location to another when you used force to swing the bat and hit the baseball.
  2. Force is required to cause the motion to change.
  3. Unless an external force acts, everyone maintains its initial state of rest or motion with uniform speed in a straight line. This law is also known as Galileo's law or the law of inertia.
