Forces are all around us. We can't see them, but we can see their effects. Forces make objects move. They can also make things speed up. Friction makes objects slow down and eventually stop. Some forces, such as throwing a ball, happen when objects are in contact. Others, including gravity, act from a distance. Gravity makes balls fall to Earth and holds the planets in place around the Sun. Magnetism pulls objects together or pushes them apart. Find out all about forces and how they affect us every day.
