Force

Force is a measure of how much push or pull there is on an object. Newtons famous laws relate how the acceleration of an object relate to the force applied to it and its mass.

The rotational counterpart to force is torque.

The fundamental forces of nature (or fields) are gravity, the electro-magnetic-field, the weak-force, and the strong-force. The electro-magnetic-field is often referered to in termms of its electric-field and magnetic-field components.
