Study Notes

Introduction to Forces and Newton's First Law

In physics, a force is a push or a pull on an object. Forces are vectors, meaning they have both a magnitude (how strong they are) and a direction. We measure forces in Newtons (N).

Think about everyday actions:
* Pushing a door open
* Pulling a wagon
* Gravity pulling you down
* A spring pushing back when compressed

These are all examples of forces at work.
