Anotations

Scope note:

Any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object; force may be an agency or influence (as a push or pull) that, if applied to a free body, results chiefly in an acceleration of the body and sometimes in elastic deformation and other effects. Equations differ in ancient, pre-Newtonian, and Newtonian understandings of force.
