Force is a push or a pull of an object that causes the object to speed up, slow down, or stay in one place. In other words, a force is what causes an object to move. Friction and gravity are two types of forces that influence how an object moves.

A push or a pull on an object is known as a force.

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if we kick a ball the ball moves in the direction of the kick. Here on kicking the ball we apply a force on the ball that made the ball move. So, the motion (push/pull) of an object is due to the force applied on it.

Force is a vector quantity defined by the product mass and acceleration. That is, F=ma. The SI unit is Newton (N).

Velocity is the rate of change of speed of an object.

Acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity.
