A force can be a push or a pull. When a force is exerted on an object it can change the object's speed, direction of movement or shape. Pressure is a measure of how much force is acting upon an area.

A puzzle in theoretical chemistry has been solved at TU Wien: A new computational method now makes it possible to calculate the forces between large molecules with unprecedented accuracy. Why can ...

When an object is falling, the two main forces acting on it are weight close weightA force that acts on mass, pulling it down, due to gravity. Weight is a force and forces are measured in newtons (N).
