Force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull.

The most common unit of force is the newton (N) in the SI system, defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared. Other units include the dyne, pound-force (lbf), and kilogram-force (kgf).
