A force is a "push" or "pull" exerted by one object acting on another object and is always represented in the form of a vector. The SI unit for force is the newton ($\text{N}$), equivalent to $\text{kg} \cdot \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$.
Forces do not cause motion but instead cause *changes* in motion; therefore a constant force on an object results in uniformly acceleration motion**.

!!! example
If a rock is pushed across the ground by a hand at a constant velocity, the forces acting on the rock would include:
- the normal force from the hand, or $F_{T \text{ h-R}}$
- the kinetic friction from the ground, or $F_{fK \text{ g-R}}$
- the weight of the rock from the planet, or $W_\text{ E-R}$
- the normal force from the ground pushing against the rock's weight, or $F_{N \text{ g-R}}$
- the normal force from the hand, or $F_{T \text{ hR}}$
