Question

The push or pull acting on a body commonly is called force. State true or false.

Answer 1

Hint: When a body shows some acceleration on being applied some energy force is said to be developed on a body. As force is directly proportional to the mass multiplied by the acceleration;
$F = ma$ (m is mass and a is acceleration)
By using the above mentioned definition we will more elaborate the force.

Complete step by step solution:
A force is a quantity which when found with no resistance in its application causes the movement (motion) in a body. A force can make an object accelerate having some mass. Force is a vector quantity which has both magnitude and direction. There are many concepts which are: torque, which makes changes in rotational motion of an object, pressure is equal to the many forces acting over an area, thrust is also a force which causes a motion in an object, stress which causes deformation in the body.
Newton’s second law of motion is totally based on the concept of production of force which states that rate of change in momentum is called force.
$F = ma$(Equation of force given as per Newton’s law of motion)
If an object is light in weight and force is applied it produces a faster acceleration, if the object is heavy in weight and force is applied it takes a lot of time to accelerate.

Thus, we can say that when a push or pull acting on a body is called force, the statement is true.

Note: There are various types of forces exists in nature which such as: electrostatic forces (exist between two charged particles), mechanical forces (physical work), magnetic force (force of two magnetic bodies), frictional force (force produced due to friction), Tension (force due to string), gravitational force( force due to gravity) etc.
