- A force can make a stationary object move.
- It can stop a moving object.
- It can increase or decrease the speed of a moving object.

Types of Forces
- Contact Forces: Require physical touch (e.g., muscular force, friction).
- Non-contact Forces: Act without touching (e.g., gravity, magnetic force).
- Muscular force is a contact force applied by living beings.
