Force can also be described by intuitive concepts such as a push or pull that can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate, or which can cause a flexible object to deform. An applied force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. .Newton's second law can be formulated to state that an object with a constant mass will accelerate in proportion to the net force acting upon and in inverse proportion to its mass, an approximation which breaks down near the speed of light.^ The attraction of all matter for all other matter is in proportion directly to the mass and inversely to the square of the distance.

Newton's original formulation is exact, and does not break down: this version states that the net force acting upon an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes.^[1]

.Related concepts to accelerating forces include thrust - any force which increases the velocity of the object, drag - any force which decreases the velocity of any object, and torque - the tendency of a force to cause changes in rotational speed about an axis.^ The image below attempts to illustrate the concept of "change over time" as it relates to "speciation".

Since antiquity, the concept of force has been recognized as integral to the functioning of each of the simple machines.

The place where forces were applied to projectiles was only at the start of the flight, and while the projectile sailed through the air, no discernible force acts on it. Aristotle was aware of this problem and proposed that the air displaced through the projectile's path provided the needed force to continue the projectile moving. This explanation demands that air is needed for projectiles and that, for example, in a vacuum, no projectile would move after the initial push. Additional problems with the explanation include the fact that air resists the motion of the projectiles.^[8]

.Aristotelian physics began facing criticism in Medieval science, first by John Philoponus in the 6th century and then by Islamic physicists from the 11th century, when Avicenna's The Book of Healing introduced an alternative theory of mayl, where motion is a result of an inclination (mayl) transferred to the projectile by the thrower, projectile motion in a vacuum does not cease,^[9] and inclination is a permanent force whose effect is dissipated by external forces such as air resistance.^ Evolutionary theory does not put forward any values, it does not claim that competition is good or bad, it just observes its existence and reports the results of it.

The shortcomings of Aristotelian physics would not be fully corrected until the seventeenth century work of Galileo Galilei, who was influenced by the late Medieval idea that objects in forced motion carried an innate force of impetus. Galileo constructed an experiment in which stones and cannonballs were both rolled down an incline to disprove the Aristotelian theory of motion early in the seventeenth century. He showed that the bodies were accelerated by gravity to an extent which was independent of their mass and argued that objects retain their velocity unless acted on by a force, for example friction.^[19]

Such experiments demonstrate the crucial properties that forces are additive vector quantities: they have magnitude and direction.^[4] .When two forces act on an object, the resulting force, the resultant, can be determined by following the parallelogram rule of vector addition: the addition of two vectors represented by sides of a parallelogram, gives an equivalent resultant vector which is equal in magnitude and direction to the transversal of the parallelogram.^ Random is actually a mathematical concept and true randomness does not occur in reality because in reality the laws of nature dictate behavior such that everything that occurs is determined by some acting force and all things follow the laws of nature.

When dealing with an extense body, it is also necessary that the net torque in it is 0.

There are two kinds of equilibrium: static equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium.

Static equilibrium was understood well before the invention of classical mechanics. Objects which are at rest have zero net force acting on them.^[30]

The simplest case of static equilibrium occurs when two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. For example, an object on a level surface is pulled (attracted) downward toward the center of the Earth by the force of gravity. At the same time, surface forces resist the downward force with equal upward force (called the normal force). .The situation is one of zero net force and no acceleration.^ No energy, not even potential energy, can be lost in converting one force into another.

Dynamical equilibrium was first described by Galileo who noticed that certain assumptions of Aristotelian physics were contradicted by observations and logic. .Galileo realized that simple velocity addition demands that the concept of an "absolute rest frame" did not exist.^ Likewise, the Jews did not have a concept of Satan like that which exists in Christianity.

Galileo concluded that motion in a constant velocity was completely equivalent to rest. This was contrary to Aristotle's notion of a "natural state" of rest that objects with mass naturally approached. Simple experiments showed that Galileo's understanding of the equivalence of constant velocity and rest to be correct. For example, if a mariner dropped a cannonball from the crow's nest of a ship moving at a constant velocity, Aristotelian physics would have the cannonball fall straight down while the ship moved beneath it. Thus, in an Aristotelian universe, the falling cannonball would land behind the foot of the mast of a moving ship. .However, when this experiment is actually conducted, the cannonball always falls at the foot of the mast, as if the cannonball knows to travel with the ship despite being separated from it.^ Outside of time travel or humanity conducting some extremely long-term experiments, how the theory of evolution can be better "proven?"

Thus, no force is required to keep the cannonball moving at the constant forward velocity.^[19]

Moreover, any object traveling at a constant velocity must be subject to zero net force (resultant force). This is the definition of dynamical equilibrium: when all the forces on an object balance but it still moves at a constant velocity.

A simple case of dynamical equilibrium occurs in constant velocity motion across a surface with kinetic friction. In such a situation, a force is applied in the direction of motion while the kinetic friction force exactly opposes the applied force. This results in a net zero force, but since the object started with a non-zero velocity, it continues to move with a non-zero velocity. Aristotle misinterpreted this motion as being caused by the applied force. .However, when kinetic friction is taken into consideration it is clear that there is no net force causing constant velocity motion.^ No force can be disconnected from its cause.

Thus an object that has a mass of m will experience a force:

In free-fall, this force is unopposed and therefore the net force on the object is its weight. For objects not in free-fall, the force of gravity is opposed by the reactions of their supports. For example, a person standing on the ground experiences zero net force, since his weight is balanced by a normal force exerted by the ground.^[3]

An example of the normal force in action is the impact force on an object crashing into an immobile surface.^[3]

Friction is a surface force that opposes relative motion. The frictional force is directly related to the normal force which acts to keep two solid objects separated at the point of contact. There are two broad classifications of frictional forces: static friction and kinetic friction.

The static friction force (F_sf) will exactly oppose forces applied to an object parallel to a surface contact up to the limit specified by the coefficient of static friction (μ_sf) multiplied by the normal force (F_N). In other words the magnitude of the static friction force satisfies the inequality:

The kinetic friction force (F_kf) is independent of both the forces applied and the movement of the object. Thus, the magnitude of the force equals:

where μ_kf is the coefficient of kinetic friction. For most surface interfaces, the coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of static friction.^[3]

Tension forces can be modeled using ideal strings which are massless, frictionless, unbreakable, and unstretchable. They can be combined with ideal pulleys which allow ideal strings to switch physical direction. Ideal strings transmit tension forces instantaneously in action-reaction pairs so that if two objects are connected by an ideal string, any force directed along the string by the first object is accompanied by a force directed along the string in the opposite direction by the second object.^[52] .By connecting the same string multiple times to the same object through the use of a set-up that uses movable pulleys, the tension force on a load can be multiplied.^ Has your acquiring of the power to do the good--the good works which are of God--been through a long process of ups and downs from the time of your first profession of Christianity until now?

An elastic force acts to return a spring to its natural length. An ideal spring is taken to be massless, frictionless, unbreakable, and infinitely stretchable. Such springs exert forces that push when contracted, or pull when extended, in proportion to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position.^[54] This linear relationship was described by Robert Hooke in 1676, for whom Hooke's law is named. If Δx is the displacement, the force exerted by an ideal spring equals:

where k is the spring constant (or force constant), which is particular to the spring. The minus sign accounts for the tendency of the elastic force to act in opposition to the applied load.^[3]

For example, in extended fluids, differences in pressure result in forces being directed along the pressure gradients as follows:

where V is the volume of the object in the fluid and P is the scalar function that describes the pressure at all locations in space. Pressure gradients and differentials result in the buoyant force for fluids suspended in gravitational fields, winds in atmospheric science, and the lift associated with aerodynamics and flight.^[3]

A specific instance of such a force that is associated with dynamic pressure is fluid resistance: a body force that resists the motion of an object through a fluid due to viscosity. For so-called "Stokes' drag" the force is approximately proportional to the velocity, but opposite in direction:

where:

More formally, forces in continuum mechanics are fully described by a stress tensor with terms that are roughly defined as

where A is the relevant cross-sectional area for the volume for which the stress-tensor is being calculated. .This formalism includes pressure terms associated with forces that act normal to the cross-sectional area (the matrix diagonals of the tensor) as well as shear terms associated with forces that act parallel to the cross-sectional area (the off-diagonal elements).^ These studies include research to make associations between the morphological changes and genetic changes, as well as speciation studies.

where

This provides a definition for the moment of inertia which is the rotational equivalent for mass. In more advanced treatments of mechanics, the moment of inertia acts as a tensor that, when properly analyzed, fully determines the characteristics of rotations including precession and nutation.

Equivalently, the differential form of Newton's Second Law provides an alternative definition of torque:

where is the angular momentum of the particle.

.Newton's Third Law of Motion requires that all objects exerting torques themselves experience equal and opposite torques,^[57] and therefore also directly implies the conservation of angular momentum for closed systems that experience rotations and revolutions through the action of internal torques.^ What the Second Law of Thermodynamics is essentially stating is that differences in energy in a closed system tend towards equilibrium.

where m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity of the object and r is the distance to the center of the circular path and is the unit vector pointing in the radial direction outwards from the center. This means that the unbalanced centripetal force felt by any object is always directed toward the center of the curving path. .Such forces act perpendicular to the velocity vector associated with the motion of an object, and therefore do not change the speed of the object (magnitude of the velocity), but only the direction of the velocity vector.^ Humans, being the only species that can consider such things on a rational level rather than acting out of instinct, can make rational choices about such things.

which, by .Newton's Second Law, must be equivalent to the change in momentum (yielding the Impulse momentum theorem).^ The Second Law of Thermodynamics is particularly important in this discussion, since it states that there exists a universal principle of change in nature which is downhill, not uphill, as evolution requires.

Similarly, integrating with respect to position gives a definition for the work done by a force:^[60]

which is equivalent to changes in kinetic energy (yielding the work energy theorem).^[60]

Power P is the rate of change dW/dt of the work W, as the trajectory is extended by a position change in a time interval dt:^[61]

with the velocity.

.Instead of a force, often the mathematically related concept of a potential energy field can be used for convenience.^ The replication of viruses is completely determinative, but the terms that are often used to describe how viruses are replicated are terms that we associate with "free will" concepts.

.For instance, the gravitational force acting upon an object can be seen as the action of the gravitational field that is present at the object's location.^ This spirit force is often said in these belief systems to be ever-present and continually acting.

Restating mathematically the definition of energy (via the definition of work), a potential scalar field is defined as that field whose gradient is equal and opposite to the force produced at every point:
