The SI unit for the magnitude, or strength of a force, the longer the arrow the greater the force.

The combination of all forces acting on an object is called the net force.

Unbalanced forces can cause the velocity of a object to change.

Equal forces acting on one object in opposite directions are called balanced forces.
