A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (e.g. moving from a Newton's first law, state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both Euclidean vector#Length, magnitude and Direction (geometry, geography), direction, making it a Vector (geometric), vector quantity. It is measured in the SI unit of newton (unit), newton (N). Force is represented by the symbol (formerly ). The original form of Newton's second law states that the net force acting upon an object is equal to the time derivative, rate at which its momentum changes with time. If the mass of the object is constant, this law implies that the acceleration of an object is directly Proportionality (mathematics), proportional to the net force acting on the object, is in the direction of the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of t ...
