What are some effects of force?

The Effects of ForcesA force acting on an object may cause the object to change shape, to start moving, to stop moving, to accelerate or decelerate.

When two objects interact with each other they exert a force on each other, the forces are equal in size but opposite in direction.

Resultant forceThe forces acting on an object can be replaced with a single force that causes the object to behave in the same wayas all the separate forces acting together did, this one overall force is called theresultant force.

All forces (F) are measured in newtons (N).
