Example:
Imagine trying to move a heavy couch across the living room to rearrange your furniture. Just like you need to exert a push or pull to get the couch moving, forces in physics involve the same principle of exerting a push or pull on an object. When you push on the couch, you're applying force to overcome friction and inertia, similar to how any force in nature acts to change an object's state of motion.

Force: The push or pull exerted on an object. Force. In simple terms, force is what makes an object start moving, stop, or change direction.
