Force

Force is the push or pull that accelerates a body having mass. Force is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction.

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is defined as: ${\overrightarrow {F}}=m{\frac {d{\overrightarrow {v}}}{dt}}=m{\overrightarrow {a}}$, where m,v and a are the mass, velocity and resulting acceleration of the body experiencing the force.
