FORCE

In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object.[1] A
force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from
a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force
has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. It is measured in the SI
unit of newtons and represented by the symbol F.
The original form of Newton's second law states that the net force acting upon an object is equal to
the rate at which its momentum changes with time. If the mass of the object is constant, this law
implies that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object,
is in the direction of the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object
Concepts related to force include: thrust, which increases the velocity of an object; drag, which
decreases the velocity of an object; and torque, which produces changes in rotational speed of an
object. In an extended body, each part usually applies forces on the adjacent parts; the distribution
of such forces through the body is the internal mechanical stress. Such internal mechanical stresses
cause no accelation of that body as the forces balance one another. Pressure, the distribution of
many small forces applied over an area of a body, is a simple type of stress that if unbalanced can
cause the body to accelerate. Stress usually causes deformation of solid materials, or flow in fluids.

MOTION
In physics, motion is a change in position of an object over time. Motion is described in terms
of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time and speed. Motion of a body is observed by
attaching a frame of reference to an observer and measuring the change in position of the body
relative to that frame.
If the position of a body is not changing with respect to a given frame of reference, the body is said
to be at rest, motionless, immobile, stationary, or to have constant (time-invariant) position. An
object's motion cannot change unless it is acted upon by a force, as described. Momentum is a
quantity which is used for measuring motion of an object. An object's momentum is directly related to
the object's mass and velocity, and the total momentum of all objects in an isolated system (one not
affected by external forces) does not change with time, as described by the law of conservation of
momentum.
As there is no absolute frame of reference, absolute motion cannot be determined.[1] Thus,
everything in the universe can be considered to be moving.[2]:2021
Motion applies to objects, bodies, and matter particles, to radiation, radiation fields and radiation
particles, and to space, its curvature and space-time. One can also speak of motion of shapes and
boundaries. So, the term motion in general signifies a continuous change in the configuration of a
physical system. For example, one can talk about motion of a wave or about motion of a quantum
particle, where the configuration consists of probabilities of occupying specific positions.

Laws of motion
In physics, motion is described through two sets of apparently contradictory laws of mechanics.
Motions of all large scale and familiar objects in the universe (such as projectiles, planets, cells,
and humans) are described by classical mechanics. Whereas the motion of very
small atomic and sub-atomic objects is described by quantum mechanics.

First law:
In an inertial reference frame, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a
constant velocity, unless acted upon by a net force.

Second In an inertial reference frame, the vector sum of the forces F on an object is equal to
law: the mass m of that object multiplied by the acceleration a of the object: F = ma.

Third When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously
law: exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.

Do forces always result in motion?


In a short answer, yes. Once you apply a force to an object, it will move.

But in fact, there is a little more to the equation. You see, Newton's second law of motion states that
you have to add up all the forces acting upon a system so see what will happen to it. If the answer is
zero, as in one force pulling one way and the other pulling the opposite direction exactly, then those
forces will basically cancel each other out.

So yes, forces will always result in motion, unless there is another force exactly opposed to it.
