A force can be a push or a pull. For example, when you push open a door you have to apply a force to the door. You also have to apply a force to pull open a drawer. You cannot see a force but often you can see what it does. Forces can change the speed of something, the direction it is moving in or its shape. For example, an elastic band gets longer if you pull it.

g-force (with g from gravitational) is a measurement of the type of acceleration that causes weight. Despite the name, it is incorrect to consider g-force a fundamental force, as g-force (lower case character) is a type of acceleration that can be measured with an accelerometer.

In physics, a force is an external cause responsible for any change of a physical system. For instance, a person holding a dog by a rope is experiencing the force applied by the rope on his hand, and the cause for its pulling forward is the force exercised by the rope.

It is the mass that accelerates by one foot per second squared when a force of one lbf is exerted on it. When the standard gee (an acceleration of 9.80665 m/s²) is used to define pounds force, the mass in pounds is numerically equal to the weight in pounds force.

Because momentum is a vector, then force, being its time derivative, is also a vector - it has magnitude and direction. Forces can be added together using the parallelogram of force. When two forces act on an object, the resulting force, the resultant, is the vector sum of the original forces.

If the mass m is measured in kilograms and the acceleration a is measured in meters per second squared, then the unit of force is kilogram x meter/second squared. This unit is called the newton: 1 N = 1 kg x 1 m/s².

the word you are thinking of is joules (symbolized by J), but that's not what force is measured in. force is measured in newtons (symbolized by N). here are the definitions of the two words: + one joule is the work done, or energy expended, by a force of one newton moving one meter along the direction of the force. + the newton is the unit of force derived in the SI system; it is equal to the amount of force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second squared.

Best Answer: Force is normally measured in the SI unit of newtons which is equal to 1kg accelerating at 1m/s^2.

Forces can be measured using a force meter. Force meters contain a spring connected to a metal hook. The spring stretches when a force is applied to the hook. The bigger the force applied, the longer the spring stretches and the bigger the reading.

This gives us a mass unit (1 kg) and a force unit (the older unit of 1 kilogram-force = 9.81 N). Once this is done, one can measure any force by the acceleration it induces on the reference system and measure the inertial mass of any system by measuring the acceleration induced on this system by the reference force.
