Sagot :
A force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. Forces result from interactions. some forces result from contact interactions (normal, frictional, tensional, and applied forces are examples of contact forces) and other forces are the result of action-at-a-distance interactions (gravitational, electrical, and magnetic forces). According to Newton, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other. When you sit in your chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair and the chair exerts an upward force on your body. There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the chair and a force on your body. These two forces are calledaction and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is:For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
