This document provides an overview of forces and concepts related to forces, including: - Forces are pushes or pulls that can cause an object to be in motion or at rest. They have both magnitude and direction. - The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration is given by F=ma. Forces also equal mass times gravity (F=mg) for objects moving vertically or on an incline. - Balanced forces occur when the forces acting on an object are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no acceleration and equilibrium. Unbalanced forces cause a net force and acceleration.
