Question

Every object in the universe experiences some sort of force. It could be gravity holding Earth in orbit around the sun, or it could be someone sliding a chair across the floor. What best describes a force?

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A force may be defined as a push or pull on an object as a result of its interaction with another object.

Thus, interaction between two objects is only possible because of the action of a force on each of the objects due to interaction between the objects.

For instance, the earth remains in its orbit due to the gravitational force of attraction between the earth and the sun. Many more examples of forces abound in science.
