force

Sure! Force is when you push or pull on something to make it move or change direction. For example, when you kick a soccer ball, you are using force to make it move. Another example is when you open a door, you are using force to push it open. An analogy for force is like when you are playing tug-of-war with a friend. You both use force to try to pull the rope to your side. The stronger person will have more force and be able to pull the rope harder. A verifiable fact about force is that Isaac Newton’s second law of motion states that force is equal to mass times acceleration. This means that the more mass an object has and the faster it is moving, the more force is needed to stop it or change its direction.
