Here's why:
* Force is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (how strong the push or pull is) and direction.
* Motion can be described by an object's speed and direction.
* A force can change an object's speed (make it faster or slower) or change its direction, or both.
Examples of forces include:
* Gravity: Pulls objects towards the center of the Earth.
* Friction: A force that opposes motion between surfaces in contact.
* Applied force: A push or pull exerted by a person or object.
* Magnetic force: A force that attracts or repels certain materials.
